Crosets bowl Switzerland - One of the best parks in the Portes du soleil

Imprint
Updated

The sun continues to shine on the Portes du Soleil and as a result some of the slopes are suffering, becoming quite slushy and chopped up. I actually quite like spring slopes, I'm just not ready for them yet. Luckily the temperatures are set to drop and the forecast is for a little more snow over the weekend.

The slopes are not nearly as busy as we feared they might be and the range of terrain means there is something for everyone. Especially good parks, like the one in Crosets.
