Well it certainly does feel like spring around here which means that the world’s best spring skiing is here for the next month or two for us all to enjoy. The backcountry touring is on right now with tons of exploration going on while the access is good with RAL’s lifts open. They are set to close on both sides on the 27th October or there abouts so get hopping. After the lifts close it is still possible to hit the snow but will add an hour’s hike to your day… and the slopes are that much quieter! Currently the skiable snow line is hovering about 1800m and still provides for a massive corn run from 2600m.
