What to pack

What March feels like

The ice goes out of West Bay and everything turns to meltwater and slush; locals call the month what it is and go somewhere else. Sugarbush season is the redeeming feature, with the maple operations out on the peninsulas running tours before the sap stops.

Winter is doing its thing: 12.3 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 7 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
