what its been doing pretty much the whole season, storm rolls in and it starts snowing and then 20 min later it rolls off and stops snowing, its really rocky out there but i mean if you dont care about rocks u can still have a fun tiime, and the parks in co are better then ever.

theyre getting better... actually somehow.  I was just in some BC areas sledding today, and the snow in some spots was nipple deep where it was windloaded (dont worry, i was in low angle trees goosin around), but pretty much boilerplate everywhere else.  It is stabilizing which is good too.  Vail has pretty much everything open and youre still a month away, dont start bitching yet.

Don't sweat it man, there's a ton of snow that falls in March so you have a great chance at catching a good powder day.

I can remember plenty of foot + days at Vail in March during spring break.

If it doesn't snow the park will be good, the apres scene will be wild and you can just cruise and drink.

Check out the Red Lion for a rowdy, post skiing bar.

its El Nino, which of course is Spanish for the nino
but el nino usually brings a snowy spring (knock on wood), and as mention march is always one of our snowiest months

Yea last year was pretty similar at this point and then in march BOOM. Vail got fucking pimp slapped by the snow gods and I was shredding fresh tracks ALL day. Patients is a virtue here in CO, if you wait and pray it will come
