Trip Suggestions - mid March - SLC or elsewhere? - Snowboarding Forum

RCJ87 · 01-05-2012, 11:26 PM

I've got about a week and a half off in March and was originally planning to spend it riding in SLC. Went to Summit Co in Nov and over New Years which consisted of alot of rocks/ice and would rather not repeat that for the third time this season. Since this will be my last time to make it out for awhile I obviously want to hit up the best conditions. Should I stick with SLC, where I have a free place to stay, and hope for a change in the weather pattern? Or should I pony up some more dough and head to where the snow is falling? Thanks in advance for any input!

Elsewhere.

Interior BC if I could go anywhere. Mt. Baker if you want to stay in the US.

But it could definitely pick up by March in Northern Utah, I hope to god it does, and that is usually the best month over here as far as snowfall goes - but obviously our base won't be as deep as previous years. I'd make it count if it's your last time out for a while and avoid Utah.

Even in the worst seasons, March is generally the snowiest month of the year, just about everywhere. If you want to take a chance, that is probably the time to do it.
