What exactly is meant whan a resort reports the snow surface as Spring
Conditions?

Typically firm in the morning, slushy in the afternoon. If you're
lucky, some corn snow in between.

Too bad if you spent those three minutes riding the lift :-( Around
here, that window happens around 10:00 am.

Yeah...if you're well-informed and you can time it right, spring
skiing can be a euphoric experience. You gotta know what the
snowpack is like, when the sun hits that particular hill, etc.
Spring is when Eastern LoudPowder turns into wonderful little
ball-bearings for a time, and then into heavyweight mashed
potatoes. It's all in the timing.
