What March feels like
March keeps snowing at elevation while the village streets turn to slush and refreeze overnight. The skiing stays good deep into the month; the trails in the woods become ice, rot and postholes, which is why locals switch to snowshoes and give up on boots.
Winter is doing its thing: 18.9 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 8 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
