What March feels like

March is mud season and nobody pretends otherwise — the foothills trails are a mess, the wind blows for days, and the ski basin runs on borrowed time. It is, on the other hand, the last month before rates climb.

Expect about 5 days with something falling — rain, snow, or the sloppy mix in between. about 24 nights dip below freezing.
