Spring Skiing: Why March is a Great Month to Hit the Slopes

It’s not too late to book a ski holiday for this season. With the last-minute deals coming in hot, there’s no better time to book. But late deals aren’t the only reason to book, from bluebird days to quieter slopes, here’s why skiing in March can be one of the best times to hit the slopes.

As we enter Spring, the days get longer and the temperature gets warmer. On the slopes, this means more time for skiing and more time for relaxing. After a morning of tackling the slopes, spend a long afternoon lazing in a deckchair or head to après for some mountain tunes. With the warmer temperatures, you can enjoy sitting outside and dancing with your jacket off in true après style.

Along with the longer days and warmer temperatures you can expect the chance of a bluebird day to be much higher in March. A bluebird day is a term used to describe a sunny day on the slopes with no clouds in sight. Not only are these perfect conditions for skiing but also present a great photo opportunity to level up the Insta. On some really sunny days you may even find you catch a tan; there’s no better look than a goggle tan!

With no school holidays overlapping into March this year, you can expect the slopes to be even quieter. Quiet slopes give you even more space to practice your turns or rack up the mileage. Another plus to quieter slopes are shorter lift queues, meaning you can cruise up and down the mountain in no time.
