Snow, Sun & Sweetness
March in Woodstock, Vermont begins in the heart of Winter with ski trails, snowy mountains, and chilly temperatures. By the end of the month, sunshine, snowmelt, and maple sugaring season marks the sweet start of spring! Whether you want to get outside and soak up the magic of winter or cozy up and watch the next season begin, Vermont is the place to be. The weeks ahead have a mix of winter adventure, peaceful relaxation, and delightful reasons to stay.

Top Reasons for Spring Skiing
- More sunshine! Whether on alpine slopes or cross-country trails, the extra sunlight makes you want to ski and ride all day.
- Soft snow! East coast skiing might be known for firm, fast slopes, but spring softens the snow and makes it the perfect time to learn to ski or ride.
- Warm weather! Goggle tans, short sleeves, cold drinks at après ski… as the weather warms up, the skiing just gets more fun.
- Fewer layers! No need to spend all your time and energy bundling up like an arctic explorer before hitting the slopes.
- End the season on a good note! After skiing and riding all winter, you must be feeling strong and ready to conquer any trail.

Maple Forest in The Spa
Each season features a new Signature Body Treatment in The Spa. Summer has fresh flowers, fall features warm spices, winter includes invigorating scents, and spring is all about sweetness! Because it is maple sugaring season, this season’s treatment includes locally-made Maple Sugar Scrub and Maple Lotion products derived from Vermont sap water.
