Skiing is my joy. My legs weren't as fit as I hoped, but just lovely to be there. There is tons of snow; more than last month when we went. Hope there's plenty next month.

@AmbiePam Yes, even if I just have to coast down gentle runs, I'll continue to go. Just for the beauty.

I have heard that the past three days we had tons of snow on the mountains. My neighbors left yesterday to go skiing.

@paigea The temperature is high the snow will no last and with the high temperature the risk of avalanches is also high.

@LadyDuck Avalanches are extremely rare at ski resorts. But the back country can be so dangerous.

Looks like a nice place to be! I'm not sure how my knees would feel about downhilling at this point.

My knees are okay, it's my thighs that are screaming after a few runs. But, my knees swell up and ache for days afterwards.

I can imagine how exhilarating this must be. I've never even seen much snow at all. I hope you get tons more of it.

@paigea Really?? We have more snow than Switzerland but I guess it's concentrated in just a few places.

Well hopefully you'll get all the snow you can handle then when it's all melted it'll replenish the streams etc.

Yeah, that's one of the pitfalls of a goodly amount of snow.

There should be enough. They did not get as much snow as last year. Last year they could have stayed open until the end of June.

Seems funny to think of skiing now, but I imagine you can do it until July, or perhaps all year there.

Never experienced skiing as there is no snow here in Manila. Looks fun though based on what I've seen and read.

In the mountains, the snow doesn't really come down to fill the rivers until June. It starts before that, but there is still plenty of snow to ski in May.

Keep on going skiing every month while the snow is there.
