2. Spring Skiing Attire
It wouldn’t be spring skiing without wacky outfits from bikinis to full-on costumes. The higher sun angle and daylight savings brings warmer and longer days that have a full-moon effect on skiers and riders. You’ll see it all this time of year.

10. Longer Days
In January, we will see about 9.5 hours of daylight, but in mid-March, it is closer to 12 hours. That’s nearly three hours of extra sunlight, which means there is time to go back to your hotel or condo after skiing, rest, and still have daylight for other activities around town. There is so much to explore, you will need it!
