More Great Spring Turns!
There's a bright red horizon to the east and the wind has picked up from the north, but the sky is mostly clear above and it looks like we are in for another sunny day with really fun spring snow conditions. The current temp is 1.3 degrees, heading for a balmy top of 7 degrees and the wind is a strong northerly, which may increase a little more through the morning.
The snowpack is firm but not really frozen, so the turns will be good from the get-go. Some of the more exposed groomers have a slight wind glaze on them at the moment, but that will break down and soften very quickly, and all areas will soften further as the day warms. Tomorrow's weather may be a little more challenging, so get out there and make the most of the good weather and fun spring snow conditions today.
And keep an eye on the forecast. We could be in for a nice September Surprise next weekend!
