Slush season - this is the time when the snow becomes soft, warms the sun and we can really let off steam on the slopes. Here is your ultimate guide to get the best out of spring on snowboard or skis.
What is slush snow?
Slush, also known as spring snow, is characterized by its soft, wet consistency. Due to the higher temperatures during the day and the colder nights, the snow begins to melt and turn into a mixture of snow and water.
Preparation is everything: grow us equipment
The conditions in spring require certain adjustments to your equipment. Soft snow brakes and to be able to build speed, you should definitely grow your board or ski beforehand. It is best to use special wax for warm temperatures for this.
Snowboarders should fall back on a soft snowboard on such days and skiers on wider skiing with a lot of buoyancy.
Protection against too much sun
In the event of warm and sunny weather conditions, you should definitely get enough of sunscreen beforehand. But not only your skin is sensitive to the sun, you should also shine your eyes in front of too many UV. It is best to use stylish ski glasses like that Nova Steep.
Outfit Choice
Due to the milder temperatures in spring, you have to put on less layers and can fully let off steam in terms of style. Make the lift snake to the personal catwalk and choose lighter, breathable clothing that offers a lot of freedom of movement.
Show what you can do!
Now your time is to shine! You have worked hard on your skills all winter and you can now prove them. In addition, the soft snow reduces the risk of injury and you have to worry less.
And remember, the season is almost over, so use every minute on the mountain and have fun!
