Spring Skiing and Sunning in Vermont
Montpelier, VT (PRWEB) March 06, 2014
In like a lion, and out like a lamb. With snowstorms in the forecast to add to Vermont's already stellar snow pack, early March is living up to its tagline. However, March also marks the beginning of longer days, warmer temps and in turn, spring skiing and riding in Vermont. By the end of the month skiers and riders enjoy soft spring conditions and outdoor entertainment, so prepare to loose the bulky mid-winter layer and take advantage of the late season offers and events. With the state’s 80% snowmaking coverage and the plush snowfall we’ve received this season, we’ll all be skiing and partying right into April.
