More Great Spring Turns!
Get out there and get into it this morning! The wind has picked up a notch and there may be a few spots later in the day, but the sky is currently clear and the skiing and riding should be really good out there again today. The current temperature is just above zero, heading for a top of 5 degrees and the wind is expected to increase as the day progresses.
I reckon the turns will be really good on the groomers first up, while a bit of sun and warming will bring some of the off-piste areas into shape for fun spring like turns. Although the forecast has backed off somewhat, it still looks like we'll be getting a nice freshen up over the weekend, which should set us up very nicely for the school holidays.
Slap on the screen and make the most of it.
