Mentioning spring skiing can also summon memories of endless slogs through bottomless mush, creeping down slopes and triggering avalanches with every turn, and rainy, drizzly days. The key to avoiding the bad and getting the goods is timing. Time your ski days to optimize the weather, and time your traveling to optimize the snow. Below is general information for spring snow-a short Spring Mainfesto. The Utah Avalanche Center will continue to issue advisories until the middle of the month, and then offer periodic updates.
Spring snow goes through a fairly predictable cycle of stability throughout the day.
Hard, frozen snow is generally stable. Slushy wet snow can be very unstable. Travel when the snow is frozen, play as it softens, and get out before it's sliding down. The colder the night, the deeper the freeze, and the longer the potential window. Cold, clear nights are best.
