Slush

Wet, softened snow with substantial liquid water content.

GLOSSARY · Terrain, snow & environment

Slush is snow that has absorbed meltwater, common in spring afternoons. It slows the board, grabs the edges and can feel sticky; a structured base and warm-weather wax help.

Context and distinction

Slush is wet snow; powder is dry, loose snow. Slush that freezes overnight becomes hard and icy.
