Late March starts getting iffy, especially in the East. As much as I love Smuggs, I've got to say head West. It's a longer trip (I'm making the assumption that you're from the other side of that really big puddle), but in Vermont in late March, you could have anything from fresh powder to spring corn to a total deluge. A true crap shoot. <BR> <BR>Meanwhile, out West elevation plays in your favor. Keep in mind that the true "Canadian Rockies" resorts (along the BC/Alberta border) for the most part lack the snowfall of the more interior BC resorts. So if there's a thaw by then, it will show more prominently at places like Lake Louise. However, their elevation is significantly higher than their BC brethren such as Fernie, Red Mt., Apex or Sun Peaks. I guess that it then depends on which evil is lesser - if snowfalls in Alberta have been prodigious, I'd bet on elevation. If not, I'd side with the averages. <BR> <BR>Quite the answer, huh? Not very helpful, I guess. <BR> <BR>Spring Break varies from university to university, but pretty much takes place in March. I'd venture to say that most are mid-March. <BR> <BR>Any other opinions out there?
