Classic Spring Conditions!
Slap on the screen and get out there for another day of great weather and classic spring snow conditions. The sky is clear, the current temp is minus 1.7, heading for a top of 3 degrees, and there is just a puff of a breeze from the south.
The snow has had a good solid freeze overnight, so will start the day of firm before the sunny aspects (both on and off the groomers) start to soften for really good spring snow turns. It looks like more of the same great conditions on the way for tomorrow, so get up here and make the most of it if you can.
WRX First Tracks is scheduled for Heavenly Valley from 7:30 this morning through Sunday.
Cheers Bill
