Not that ice crystal stuff you normally associate with spring skiing.
You can't do shorts and tees on the glacier. Due to altitude you will get burnt to a crisp if you do not cover up.
However, hanging with a hot swedish chick and strolling around town with her in 80 degree weather in a tee and barefoot wislt carrying your skis after a day of dodging avalanches is certainly a once in a lifetime experience.
They only shut down for a couple of weeks a year to move the lifts back up the mountain.
The lifts flow down with the glacier.
Winter is more off season for them. Just too damn cold and hostile.
