How to cope with slushy snow

Parallel Lines Ski Tips

Updated

During the spring season at the end of the day, the lower slopes can often become very “slushy” with heavy wet snow. Here are a few tips to help you cope:
Ski with a slightly narrower stance, so that you can work both skis as one.
Press and balance against the outside ski while using the inside ski to be in charge of steering so that it does not feel out of control, and get caught by the slush.
Make sure you press and balance against the outside ski before you steer it so that you do not “trip over” your skis in the heavy slush.
If you are feeling confident, a bit of speed helps! If you are feeling brave, go a bit faster.
Don’t forget you could always do one extra run at the top of the mountain on the better snow and then get the bubble down to avoid the lower slushy slopes.
