Does anybody have some advice on how to help beginner/intermediate skiers handle the thick, wet spring snow?
I have a friend who made great progress learning to ski parallel this winter, but with the difficult spring conditions, she goes back to her comfort zone of wedging. She couldn't make it through a run without her legs cramping up and it kills me that her last day of the season was also her least favorite.
I learned to handle spring snow by pretending not to be miserable for several years and eventually buying wider skis, but "tough it out and spend a lot of money" isn't the most helpful advice
