It’s no secret that March is the best snow month!
Here are five TOP favorite reasons to visit Aspen:
1. Longer days and an extra hour of sunshine during daylight savings means more time to ride. During spring, select lifts on all four mountains will extend their hours until 4:00pm or 4:15pm, giving riders plenty of time to enjoy those long spring powder days.
2. Two words: Spring Powder. Historically March is the snowiest months of the year in Aspen Snowmass. In fact, Aspen has an average snowfall of 29 inches in March according to US Climate Data. There is great coverage of fresh, fluffy snow and you will also have blue skies on a fantastic powder day.
3. March in Aspen marks the official start to après season which continues on for the rest of the ski season. After a day on the slopes, you can ski right into a spring sun soaked patio which often includes DJs, food & drink specials, and your best spring ski attire (highly encouraged).
