It's officially Spring on the mountain. During the storm early last week we passed the point of 'max snowpack' on the mountain. For a couple more weeks we'll still get more snow on the top of the mountain, but it will not offset how much snow we're losing lower down on the mountain.
Lately it has been freezing at night and then during the day it gets up into the mid to upper 40's. The frosts have kept the snowpack solid and the warm days just thaw out the top few inches for skiing. Spring corn snow. Hero snow. Perfect spring skiing conditions. Probably the best skiing of the year. But it is a little sad because it also means the ski season is coming to a close.
It has been a low snow winter, and, despite the relatively cool spring, I fear that this year the skiing on Pyramid is going to end a little earlier than usual.
Still the skiing is good now!
