Unseasonably warm spell worsens skiing conditions

Due to the unseasonably warm spell conditions at Czech ski resorts have worsened. Some have had to temporarily put their lifts out of operation, but the big ski resorts remain open. The quality of the tracks is not ideal at the moment, with natural snow completely melted in many places, making conditions for cross country skiing particularly bad, according to resorts contacted by the Czech Press Agency. However the most popular resorts remain in operation. Špindleruv Mlýn and the Ski Resort Černá hora – Pec report good conditions for skiers thanks to artificial snow. People are advised to check the respective websites for precise information.
