What to pack

What March feels like

March is when the lots turn to slush by noon and the corn snow gets good on the south-facing runs. Big late-season storms still land, so the chain requirements have not gone anywhere — they just come with sunburn now.

Expect about 10 days with something falling — rain, snow, or the sloppy mix in between. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
