Spring skiing

[snowbender]

When April comes around, most of you city folks and flatlanders would think that the skiing season is over. Actually, it is quite the opposite, warm temperatures and comfortable weather, spring skiing is actually quite enjoyable, if you can catch the right kind of “spring” snow.

The tricky part of spring skiing is the snow. Sometime the spring snow is slick, smooth, fast, and very pleasant to ski on; on the other times, the spring snow is soggy, sticky, and very slow, very tedious and tiring to ski, yet they all look pretty much the same from the outside, in a distance. Which kind of spring snow it is? One would only know it after one drops in, but maybe too late. No way out and no escape, one can only ski through it by skiing “one step, one turn” to grind it out. This run is routinely done within three minutes, but this time it took more than eight minutes, is really quite a workout.

Have fun,

We still got lots of new snow on Whistler. Very hard to see the sun coming out

Yeah, I think that this year kind of exceptional, a really good season; we, too, just had rain and snow mix for three days, and now turning to all snow. Powder skiing and bump skiing are all great.

Spring snow (here at Tahoe) varies greatly during the day, from frozen to thaw to slush, spring snow has about two to three hours window for good skiing. The trails are good from around/after 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, after that, the snow becomes too slush to ski comfortably. But by then, the trees and ungroomed terrain may become skiable, and then fun skiing continues, we would have good skiing for 4 hours a day, if we try.

We did gett 18” of spring powder from the last snow storm (and storms are still keeping coming), so we ended up powder skiing the Little Dipper.

There’s another 10” fresh snow fell last night. This season’s powder skiing is really “phenomenal.”

Thanks, thou I wish she could be a bit more dynamic, but that is her own “minimum effort” skiing, her style, can’t argue with her.

And we/I just learned that one of her toes was broken [in an accident unrelated to skiing], and she has been skiing with that broken toe for the past several weeks, tough old lady.
