 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have experienced a few different types of snow, from cold crisp soft stuff, to deep mountains of porridge. Spring skiing which involved corrugated metal until 10.30 & slush from lunch . I hear lots about different types of snow, but understand very little.
Looking at the forecast there is a fair bit expected, but what will snow be like e.g. if it is warm and falls as deep wet snow, but the a couple of days later there is a drop in temps. Will the wet snow turn to fresh light snow or will it freeze like the spring snow I have experienced.

Frosty the Snowman,
As long as we don't get any yellow stuff it'll be OK.
Which brings me onto Piste peeing etiqutte. When I really have to go, I'll try to find a quiet spot in the trees, usually a few metres from the piste. Have never gone above the tree line, but have seen others do so. What is acceptable here?

The other week I had slush turn into soft squeaky stuff after the temperature dropped.
There'd also a special kind of snow that finds it's way into my line when on piste and causes frequent and unintentional falls

Frosty the Snowman, justto get serious, as if...
Yes, if it falls as moderately wet snow, but doesn't turn to "concrete", goven time and low temperatures it can transform into much nicer stuff. That's about as scientific as I know, it's just what I've observed.
If it falls as rain, hmmm, I think it's cowardly and runs away.
