Snow rangers from the US Forest Service Mount Washington Avalanche Center are reminding visitors that, even though the calendar says it is spring, winter weather and snow conditions still have a firm grasp on Mt. Washington.

"Late March and early April is a transition time," said Snow Ranger Jeff Lane. "However, this year it seems that winter conditions are holding on longer than they have in recent years. Usually around the end of March we start seeing more of the spring skier crowd." Lane said. "Slopes finally filled in with snow, the sun higher in the sky, and warmer, longer days can contribute to a more comfortable experience in the ravines."
