For skiers and snowboarders, spring is the most pleasing time of all.
Winter days are short, dark, cold - made tolerable only by passing powder storms.
Folks let it all hang out in spring. For many, a fine spring day in March may be the only day on skis or boards all season. Steamboat has cardboard races, Sugarbush - pond skimming and Stowe, well Stowe has had more than its share of wackiness over the years. Saint Paddy's Day is always a classic. In past years Stowe has also staged enormously popular Dummy Big Air contests.
