Hundreds enjoy late season alpine and cross-country skiing

Several hundred people in Harrachov in the Krkonoše Mountains, as well as skiers in Liberec, hit the slopes at the weekend even though spring conditions have well set in elsewhere. Harrachov still enjoys some 90 centimetres of snow on the slopes while other parts of the country have seen mostly rain. The area saw both sun and periods of snowfall at the weekend. Some sites, though, will begin to close on Monday.

In the Liberec area, skiers visited a hill known as Černá říčka, where the snow was described as good; organisers had officially closed already, but re-opened for the weekend because of the favourable conditions.
