Kauniainen ski hill is melting! Just a few days ago it was almost completely skiable, but now... just two plots of snow left.
Another local skier, Jussi Vuokko, skied the hill on May 10, and made a comparison to 2020, the situation was much better. In 2020, there was just a t wo meter plotof snow left. What a remarkable difference!
The good news about this year though, is that one the plots of snow left now is a big mound... it will surely last until June... but what about July?

The season isn’t over here in the Tetons! With the Tram re-opening for summer ops last weekend, it’s still possible to ski up high. Conditions are even still pretty good. We’ve been seeing folks getting after it up on Cody Peak, but Teton Brown went right for the big prize – Central Couloir. After looking really thin all year, some spring snowfall finally brought it back from the dead, and Brown went for it. Not bad for May 25!
