The Ten Best Things about Spring Skiing:

Slushy Spring Snow: The snow has been freezing at night and melting in the day resulting in fun wet slushy snow referred to by many names such as corn snow, mashed potatoes, sand snow, or for those boaters, spring run-off.

The Ski Resort Turns into a Beach: After an amazingly beautiful day in the spring sun you plant yourself in a chair for a beer, some bbq, and some rays surrounded by your good friends! Can’t go wrong with these celebrations (at A-Basin)!

Spring Ski = Cheap Tickets. Lift Tickets are cheap this time of year, there are less crowds and you get great spring ski packages with lodging!


The Warmer the Weather, the Lighter the Gear: You finally get to wear all your lightweight performance gear that is usually hidden under a few layers in mid- winter! So light and free!

Sunshine! The layers come off and the pale white skin of winter sees the sun again. It literally turns everyone into lazy, sleepy, happy lizards basking in the sun!

Spring Massive Celebrations- Be entertained for weeks with Breckenridge’s party to welcome in the Spring season. Watch awesome big air competitions, hear live music, & enjoy the first beer festival of the new season. See our full schedule of events.

Goggle Tans: A.k.a. Raccoon Eyes. This is a sign of a true spring skier who can’t get enough of the slushy snow and sunshine.


Blue Bird Days: The sky is a deep blue with not a single cloud in the sky!



Bikini Skiers: Some take the removal of layers a step farther than the rest! Don’t forget the sunscreen and don’t fall! Both will result in a painful spring skiing.


Last Chance for Snow! Get in your last runs of the season before it’s too late! You’ll have to wait all summer long…
