Back today to MSS glacier to ski once again on both West 70 + Nordique. They lost a significant amount of snow since 2 weeks, but there is still a depth average over 6 foot, on West 70. Lower Nordique also have a ton of snow, so I imagine they will move it to West 70 after this weekend and may 18 seems to become realist ! <BR> <BR>The Upper part of West 70 <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/2289.jpg" ALT="West 70 narrow section"> <BR> <BR>and The last part of the 2 trails <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/2290.jpg" ALT="West 70 and Nordique"> <BR> <BR>Today, it was some great spring skiing, with perfect sky, in the 50s and still good conditions on both trails. The middle part of la Nordique was just on 50% of it width and it's certainly the last weekend for the trail, except if they decide to keep open only it lower pitch, which still have enough snow for another week without problem. <BR> <BR>Upper Nordique was good <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/2291.jpg" ALT="Upper Nordique"> <BR> <BR>...Lower was too (but the middle was 50% at a place) <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/2292.jpg" ALT="Lower Nordique"> <BR> <BR>There was few hundreds of skiers & boarders, I guess 300-400, with the turnover + all the people taking a little bit of sun, on the terraces. As there was also many "rails" on the lower 70, there was almost never more than 10 people before me to sit in the Nordique triple chair. So that was a real funny end-of-season day ! Last year, on may 4, there was only West 70 remaining and the remaining amount of snow was clearly less big, so it's not the end for me !
