On days like these, you’ve felt it. The warmth on your shoulders, the slight softening of snow, the desire to roam and ride under bluebird sky pierced with a bright yellow sun. This time of year, you’ve seen it. The lengthening days, the shedding of layers, the pronounced and proud goggle tans.
Spring riding in the mountains is here, with all of its suntans and slush-laced spring turns and sundrenched stoke. Pairing warmer temps and sunnier skies, now is the perfect moment to own the stoke from season-to-season while seeking extended moments of exploration and discovery from coast-to-coast. From this spring to next winter, the mountains are where the stoke lives. It’s where we experience the full lifecycle of adventure. These are the moments that, when we own them, we own them forever.

SPRING 2021
The season of renewals and growth, spring arrives this year as a welcome dose of something refreshed and new. With buy now, ride now spring access at several Ikon Pass destinations, spring is an invitation to pack the cooler, load up the car, and head into the wide-open beauty of the mountains. Be it a trip to Southern California’s Mammoth Mountain or Sugarbush in Vermont, this time of year carries some of the biggest fun of the season.
Spend some time slowing things down while introducing your favorite lil ripper to the softer side of the slopes, or collect the crew and create your own spring-slush spray contest. Bonus points for creative costumes. When hunger calls, pull out the lawn chairs, grab-and-go from one of the many mountain-side pop-ups, or dig into the cooler and extend the lunch break while swapping stories of your gnarliest days yet. A tall tale always lives larger when it’s told in the comfort of the sun.

WINTER 21/22
From first turns to last laughs, while the stoke lives large this spring, it can also be thought of as a preview for Winter 21/22. Because, from the moment you score your pass to the mountains, the entire season will be waiting for you. Now is the time to start planning the itineraries, mapping out the road trips, calling your best adventure buddies, and digging into untapped lines you plan to own.
Whether it’s hitting kickers at Winter Park this spring or exploring a new line through the trees at Solitude next winter – each moment in the mountains brings with it a fresh perspective and the opportunity to explore ever further. For now, the sun is shining, the stoke is waiting, and your invitation to shred is standing tall.
