spring skiing? of course we ski in spring but how about summer eh? i ski in june muhahaha. At Crested Butte, CO there is still skiing in june. The rmd has a camp and they groom in this bowl in the back country at about 11,500 ft. Best summer ski camp in CO i would say. :-D

sounds good with summerskiing in CO. And at 11500ft it's quite some
altitude training.

If you have not decided on summer vacation yet, may I suggest:
Skiing on natural snow from May till August in altutudes 4600ft.
Train with some of the national teams in Europe.

I almost went skiing at Sognefjellshytta on July 1 1994.
Unfortunately (or fortunately..:-), the ski rental place was
closed for lunch break. Just as well, there would have
been the temptation to ski and ski and ski until it got dark
(it doesn't get dark there for several weeks!). I had cycled
up from Skjolden that morning and still had many "mil"
to cycle that day.

For skiing I also would have needed sunscreen with a SPF of about
1000 that day! It was the first sunny, warm day I'd seen in 2 weeks.

I noticed several ski club mini-busses parked there, including the
Swedish National ski-shooting team (that's biathlon to non-Nordics :-)

I scanned a picture and put in on the Utsidan photo album site:

We're still skiing big time here in northern Minnesota, USA. There is a
12-24" packed base on the trails with excellent spring time conditions.


See www.sugarbushtrail.org for a photo from 3/25/05 and the latest
conditions.

Greg Fangel
Tofte, MN and White Bear Lake, MN

Still skiing locally at 500-750 feet in the Gunks. Brilliant sun that
cooked the snow away for our return trip that we skied up two hours
earlier.
Tomorrow it's be at 1000 feet in the shaded areas.
Maybe next weekend at 1500 feet, but that's mostly exposed and the sun is
the culprit this time of year.

Gary Jacobson
Rosendale, NY- Road riding and gliding on the same day. Love it.
(Lovett?[a pum for old timer USA skiers]

Bretton Woods had super conditions today.
It was really fast at 8:30AM, and stayed
that way all morning. The sunny low trails
got a bit sticky around noon, but everything
else was still fast when I left at 1PM.

Tomorrow should be similar I suspect.

Still plenty of skiing to be had in Vermont.

There is at least 3 feet of snow at Hazens Notch.
