Good morning spring skiers and boarders.
Woke up this morning to the sound of snow sliding off my roof. Had about 3 cm, and it was just warm enough that it wasn't sticking to the roof.
Normal spring lift ops today. Take the Ropeway to the top and ski up there. It's supposed to be sunny and +10 C the next several days, so looks like it will be pretty nice.
Remember, in the spring, Universal Wax is your friend. Not to go faster...just to stop your skis from grabbing and sending your over the tips.
Enjoy. Think snow.
