Hello skiers,
Spring temperatures are causing water to drip off my roof and skiers to hang out at the Ice Bar. Temperatures exceeded fifty degrees today at Alpine, however the skiing was excellent. As of this morning the north facing slopes were still in good winter condition with soft surface conditions. South facing slopes are in the transition mode and have not turned to corn yet, although Sherwood may turn soon. I skied Open Slope, High Yellow Face, Palisades, D7, The Face, and a few other runs this morning before noon and found excellent soft winter snow, moguls that were easy to turn around, and a flat wind buffed surface (especially on High Yellow Face). Skiing was really very good today. The warm sun made it better, and the excellent visibility did not hurt. Thin clouds are coming in late this afternoon with the promise of more on Friday and possible snow Friday night and Saturday. Snow levels will begin high and potentially drop to 5000 feet on Saturday. More powder may be on the way that will put spring off for another day or so.
Enjoy your day. Andy
