I'm thinking of going skiing this sunday and its going to be 36 deg, should I still go?

Question

Is it going to be all wet and slushy?

Answer 1

Yes I think you should still go. Sometimes they have snow makers.  I'm going on Friday.  I think you could still go if it is snowing regularly.  It may be slushy, but if your going on top of a hight peak of mountain or whatever, it will probably be colder up on the peak.

Answer 2

Not sure where you are going, depends on elevation not just temperature. I've skied in 50 and 60 degree weather, wasn't great, but...well actually it was slushy and S****y, never mind. But i've done MANY days in the 30's and had no real problem. You should be fine. Never let the temperature deter you from getting your turns in. Higher elevation you are skiing the longer it takes for snow to turn slushy, also the less people on the mountain the longer it takes...

Answer 3

you'll like it better when its warm out.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Is that the high or low temp?  If it's the high, then it probably won't be til the afternoon, and even then not for long, and usually colder up high where the best skiing is. The night before and the morning will be colder.  And if it's the low, other conditions are a factor, like if it's cloudy, it takes forever for the snow to melt; and forecasts are often for the base of the mountain or a lower lying nearby town.  It has to be pretty warm for a while to ruin the snow.  Mid 30's is great ski weather.

Answer 6

36 degrees? nah. unless it's been really warm for the week prior conditions should be fine.

Answer 7

Yes, go skiing in 36 degrees & it won't be wet & slushy. I've skied when it's been the 40's & it was fine. The slopes are always colder & with more wind since they're open & higher up in elevation. Enjoy yourself.
