As a relatively new skier I find Spring skiing to be a lot more of a pain in the ass than all that nice groomed corduroy I've gotten used to...but since we're going to Sunday River this weekend I guess I'm going to have to suck it up... this seems obvious even to me but hey...where's the best place you've ever been spring skiing?
....Mark Elling on Spring Skiing:
Last, let the ski do the work by focusing on rolling the skis onto edge rather than driving against them or constantly pushing them through turns. Soft corn can feel very “grippy” which can tire out a person if he or she is overworking the skis. Let the turn develop by virtue of the skis’ shape, tipping them over to carve through the corn leaving a more defined track in the snow. If attempting this tactic only results in a build-up of too much speed, consider trying a shorter, wider, more shaped ski—you might be surprised by how well you’re able rip the corn.
