Now that Spring has sprung, the snow is warming up and turning to slush. How do you ski/ride slush? Here are some quick tips to help you maximize your Spring and slay the slush!
- Slice through the snow. Most people get tired when they push the snow with their skis or board. Try to ski/ride at a rate where you have no trouble "slicing" through the snow.
- Follow the sun. As the temperatures heat up ski eastern facing aspects in the morning. Southern facing aspects during midday and western facing aspects in the afternoon.
- Wax your skis/board. The moisture in the snow can strip your bases of wax. This often gives the snow a "sticky" sensation.
- Wear layers. It can warm up quickly. Having layers on can allow you to take off a layer for the given temperature.
- Use sunscreen. At higher elevations the sun is very strong and the sun's rays reflecting off the snow can fry your face. Apply and re-apply sunscreen.
Follow these simple tips and you will be loving the Spring time slush!
