04/02/2009:SPRING IS COMING
After a snowy March that offered the best ski runs of the season, the warm temperatures of spring are coming on us. The high temperatures started the big melt early this week, and right now there are few places that offer good snow for skiing/snowboarding.
Prahova Valley
The winter season is almost at its end in many of the valley's resorts. Azuga, Predeal and Poiana Brasov we're hitted hard by the warm weather, but some ski possibilities can still be found on the upper slopes of Poiana Brasov. Still, the best place to ski in the area is Sinaia, where at 2000m altitude of Valea Dorului ski run the snow layer is big enough even now in April. Also, fair conditions could be found in Busteni.
Jiu Valley / Banat
If the resort of Parang lost almost all its snow by now (so no more skiing here), Straja still hangs on, but hardly because the snow is wet and the slopes developed many dirt patches. A little to the west, Muntele Mic still has about half meter high snow on it's ski runs, so it's a good choice for a spring skiing week-end.
Maramures
This is an area that still has fair snow even now in the first days of April. Suior, Cavnic and Borsa (the upper slope on Stiol) offer skiable slopes, at least for this week-end.
Transylvania
Arieseni and Paltinis are the only resorts with snow on their ski runs, so enjoy it while it lasts.
Moldova
Vatra Dornei resort has closed its runs for some weeks now.
Warning! If you go on the slopes this week-end, watch out because the snow is slushy and hard to ski over.
