Spring is officially in session on the slopes! With a mid-mountain base of nearly 700 centimetres, the lifts at Mount Washington Alpine Resort show no sign of stopping anytime soon. The skiing and riding conditions are at the peak of perfection and with that comes an event-packed April.

Spring skiing kicks off tomorrow night (April 1st) with a free nighttime pass in exchange for a non-perishable food donation. This weekend will be dominated by the Full Throttle Slopestyle Competition [details], the Thrifty Foods Dummy Downhill contest [details] next weekend and the crowd-pleasing Barq’s Slush Cup on April 10th [details].

While Sunday, April 10th is the last official day of the full 2010/2011 season, the mountain will be open from April 15 – 17 and for the Easter long weekend from April 22-25. However, something tells me there may be even more weekends, but don’t take my word for it – stay tuned to the mountain’s lift reports.
