Well...spring skiing was about as good as it gets today. The snow is old enough now that even as it get warm it stays fairly fast for some time. Conditions are soft granular for the most part, but the tracks are holding up well and most of the skating was firm and fast enough to be really fun. If you get up early you can certainly find some good crust skiing here and there as well.
