Typically firm in the morning, slushy in the afternoon. If you're
lucky, some corn snow in between.

Too bad if you spent those three minutes riding the lift :-( Around
here, that window happens around 10:00 am.

Yeah...if you're well-informed and you can time it right, spring
skiing can be a euphoric experience. You gotta know what the
snowpack is like, when the sun hits that particular hill, etc.
Spring is when Eastern LoudPowder turns into wonderful little
ball-bearings for a time, and then into heavyweight mashed
potatoes. It's all in the timing.
