Hey guys,
Can one can give me any tips to riding this sticky heavy stuff?
Any suggestions how to make this most of it, e.g. practice flatland tricks, etc.
Thank you |

It's the perfect time to start progressing your riding. It's not that much fun burning around the pistes or riding off piste when it's so sticky, so start throwing yourself around - the landings are generally soft around the middle of the day.
Try finding a nice cat track with a drop to slush and try different grabs or rotations - if you mess up, it's the ground is nice and soft. Or just the ridges on the edge of pistes are good for spinning 1s and 3s off, if they're built up enough. |

| Like cleveland said, just bomb around and have fun when it gets slushy. Also, if you wax yourself, try one of the waxes designed for spring snow to see n improvement in gliding quality and less stickiness. |

| and try and find one of those big pools of water that gather down by the lifts when the temperature warms up - they're super fun to ride through! Remember to keep your weight back, and don't fall over! |
