Top Reasons We Love a March Slope-Side Vacation

If winter had a sweet spot, March would be it. Longer days, softer snow, and a resort that’s buzzing both on and off the hill make March one of the most rewarding times to plan a slope-side escape. Whether you’re here to ski, sip, learn, or simply soak it all in, here are five reasons March might just be our favourite month on the mountain. 1. Spring Skiing = Blue Skies & Georgian Bay Views March often delivers those postcard-perfect ski days: bright blue skies, sunshine on the slopes, and sweeping views of Georgian Bay from the top of the mountain. With milder temperatures and fewer clouds, the scenery truly shines — making every run feel a little more epic and every chairlift ride a moment to pause and take it all in. 2. Fewer Layers, More Comfort Say goodbye to bulky jackets and frozen fingers. March skiing is all about lighter layers and more comfortable days on the hill. Warmer temperatures make it ideal for fair-weather skiers and riders who love the thrill of winter sports without the deep-freeze. The village is packed with shops carrying the coolest gear for on and off the slopes — so your spring ski style is straight fire. 3. One of the Best Times to Learn If you’ve ever wanted to ski or snowboard, March is a fantastic month to start. The Learn to Ski Guarantee is a great program to take you from “never ever” to “top to bottom” in three consecutive lessons. Also, softer snow, longer daylight hours, and comfortable conditions help build confidence faster. Add in a relaxed spring vibe on the hill, and learning feels less intimidating and a whole lot more fun. 4. Spring Events & Après That Spills Outdoors March marks the return of patios, balcony views, and that unmistakable après-ski energy. From slope-side patios to village restaurants with sun-soaked terraces, this is the season where après moves outdoors. With students on break, Subaru March Break at Blue is packed with activities, live music, and a buzzing village atmosphere that keeps the fun going long after your last run. 5. Easy Travel for Canadian and U.S. Skiers March makes planning a cross-border ski trip refreshingly simple. With major highways, nearby airports, and smooth access from the U.S., getting to the mountain is often easier than expected. Favorable exchange rates and direct travel routes make a slope-side getaway especially appealing for American visitors — while Canadian guests enjoy a stress-free drive and familiar comforts. Less travel hassle means more time doing what you came for: skiing, relaxing, and enjoying spring on the mountain. Bottom line: March skiing isn’t just about the snow — it’s about the experience. Warmer days, incredible views, easier learning conditions, and an energized village all come together to create a slope-side vacation that feels effortless and unforgettable.
