Whether we’re ready to admit it or not, spring is on the horizon. For those of us who are not ready to say goodbye to snow, the arrival of spring does not mean our snow magically melts – especially for our friends out west. The arrival of spring means the potential for bigger snowstorms, longer and sunnier days, and plenty of fun activities to partake in at Ikon Pass destinations. If you’re ready to plan a last-minute spring break ski trip, an Ikon Pass destination is the place to be. Read below to check out some of our favorite spring break events, and make sure to visit the website of the destination you are visiting in advance to plan your visit.
