Sunny spring weather has had Saxony in its grip for days, but the ski lifts are still running in the Erzgebirge. There is still enough snow for skiing on the slopes in Oberwiesenthal, Altenberg and Eibenstock, as the operators explained when asked by dpa. Thanks to the low temperatures at night, the slopes can still be groomed.
"The conditions are fantastic, hardly anyone would believe it," enthuses Stefan Uhlmann from the Adlerfelsen ski resort in Eibenstock. He wants to keep the ski slope open until March 16. Several school classes have registered over the next few days. Some visitors make fun of the double-digit temperatures and ski in a T-shirt, he says.
