Switching to Spring Skiing

As we were skiing in Deer Valley yesterday, it was finally clear that the season had changed. Winter was on its way out and Spring had finally come. The abundant powder we had received in the past day was hanging on in the higher, northerly exposed slopes, but flatter and exposed areas where starting to turn to mush.

A new season brings a set of new tactics, in which groomers become more fun and tricky run tend to be lest hospitable to the unprepared skier. Suntan lotion suddenly is an absolute must and afternoon-only skiing cease to be a valid option. With four to five skiing weeks left around Park City, we'll make the adjustment, but we'll sure will be treated to more deep powder days in the meantime as winter never really quits the Rockies until May...
