\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Often labelled \u2018late season\u2019, March ski holidays<\/strong><\/a> are when you can truly start to revel in the joys of ski seasons at the peak of their powers. Contrary to many beliefs, the snow doesn\u2019t all melt when the ski lifts close in April! In fact, a quick search online will prove that March is historically the snowiest month in many ski resorts in the Northern hemisphere including the Alps and the Rocky Mountains of the USA and Canada. From personal experience of ski seasons, the best skiing conditions frequently and consistently occur from March to the end of April (and beyond in many years).<\/p>\n

1. Ski days get longer<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From the darkest of days, the Winter Solstice in December, the Northern Hemisphere starts to receive more and more sunlight. In Alpine regions, the appearance of the sun earlier and later in the day is incredibly energising, and by mid-March, you\u2019re regularly spoilt by wonderful evening Alpenglow<\/a> on neighbouring mountain ranges whilst basking in glorious sunshine at apr\u00e8s bars and sun terraces after the lifts are closed. This is the time of year that ski holidays were made for, and if you don’t know how to ski, y quieres aprender tienes que ir a la mejor escuela de esqui, Deportes J.Moga ofrece clases esqui baqueira<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Get a great suntan on your ski holiday in March and April<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A suntan on a ski holiday? Surely not! But anyone who\u2019s been spring-skiing\u00a0in March<\/strong><\/a> and April knows that a goggle-tan (or panda-eyes) is a priceless souvenir and unequivocal proof of a trip to the mountains! It\u2019s certainly true that ski resorts enjoy more intense sunshine as spring approaches throughout March. A warm afternoon in a resort village in just a t-shirt after a powder day is not uncommon on March and April ski holidays, meaning you can go home bronzed as well as with loads of snow down your pants!<\/p>\n

3. The best ski conditions occur later in the season<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More frequent snow days, more intense snowfall, higher volume of snow, more bluebird powder days, snowy nights and sunny days, less white-outs, warmer days\u2026\u00a0 <\/em>\u2013 These are the elements many of us look for when deciding where and when to go skiing. But is there a holy grail that ties them all together? These elements seem to align more frequently in lots of ski resorts in spring, resulting in excellent conditions. This means that overall, you\u2019re more likely to have \u2018the best ever day skiing\u2019 in March and April, than any other months!<\/p>\n

TOP TIP:<\/strong> There are some really useful historical snowfall tools on\u00a0Snow-forecast.com<\/a> and on the\u00a0Ski Club GB website<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

4. Much quieter slopes than other times of the season<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Barring the occasional early Easter, March is the only month of the ski season that doesn\u2019t entertain a UK school holiday of some kind [No, November doesn\u2019t count as the \u201cski season\u201d \u2013 Ed]<\/em>. Ask any seasonaire and they\u2019ll tell you the slopes are much quieter in March and April because of it, even taking Easter into account. This means more space on the slopes, shorter lift-lines and less queuing for lunch or jostling for service at the slope-side bars. All-in-all this equates to more time actually skiing<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 which is why you\u2019re going on a ski holiday in the first place!<\/p>\n

5. March and April ski holiday deals<\/h2>\n

Far be it for a ski holiday company to divulge secrets about when the best ski deals are, but it\u2019s well worth noting that ski holidays in March<\/strong><\/a> and April have their fair share. You could decide to book really early and take advantage of a Ski-All-In Deal, or maybe a lift pass offer, or pounce on a Chalet Deal in the January Sale, or maybe you book a Last Minute Ski Deal.\u00a0 Either way, spring dates feature heavily. A basic rule of thumb is the later in March or April you go, the better the deal<\/em>.<\/p>\n
