Spring skiing is so short and is so wonderful that most "good skiers" want to get most from "Spring Experience" ! They can tan any time during Summer !
Those "slushy bumps" do not exist higher up !
Why you ask ?
There is a pattern to how skiers at various levels ski! Those "slushy bumps" are created by skiers who want to slow down, who want to make quick "windshield wiper"turns! Thus pushing snow to side! If you look to the sides,,,the edges of the trail, no "bumps" there !
Now go higher up,,to steeper runs and look at the "lines" of the skiers who passed by ! Very different !
Why pay for a lift ticket to get a sun tan near a resto ?
Still skiing Spring snow and at 3 pm few skiers on slopes!
Short???? We had spring skiing as early as December this season. Brief period in January of "normal" skiing followed by 2-3 freezing weeks in February and it's been spring skiing since and will continue for another month. I love spring skiing but not enough to ski first lift to last one for 10 weeks running:)
