Spring Skiing: What to Expect at Loon Mountain

Spring brings a fresh perspective to the mountains, and Loon Mountain is no exception. As winter begins to loosen its grip, the mountain takes on a different kind of energy – one that’s a little more laid back, a little sunnier, and full of festive charm. Located in the heart of New Hampshire’s White Mountains, Loon Mountain Resort is a favorite for skiers and snowboarders alike, and spring is one of the most underrated times to visit.

Gone are the frigid mornings and bundled-up lift rides. In their place: soft snow, warm breezes, and the occasional skier in a T-shirt. The snowpack remains solid well into March and often into April thanks to Loon’s high-elevation terrain and exceptional grooming. Trails like Flying Fox, Bear Claw, and Boom Run continue to deliver thrilling descents, while beginner-friendly zones keep the mountain accessible for all experience levels.

Your Basecamp: The Mountain Club on Loon

For those looking to make the most of a spring getaway, The Mountain Club on Loon offers unbeatable access to the slopes. The only ski-in/ski-out hotel on Loon Mountain, the resort places you right in the center of the action—no driving, no gear lugging, no wasted time.

Guests can wake up to sweeping mountain views, grab breakfast at Seasons Restaurant, and be on the lift just moments later. And when it’s time to wind down, the Mountain Club’s full-service amenities are just as appealing. Relax in the indoor pool and hot tub, enjoy après-ski drinks at Black Diamond Pub, or book a springtime spa treatment at Viaggio Spa & Wellness Center. With everything under one roof, your ski day can flow effortlessly from mountain thrills to mountain-inspired relaxation.

Spring Events & Celebrations

Loon knows how to throw a party, and spring is prime time for high-spirited events that bring the community together. The annual ’80s Day celebration is a fan-favorite, drawing retro ski fashion, big hair, and even bigger energy. Live music, themed décor, and a sea of neon create an unforgettable vibe that stretches from first chair to après.

April brings the Slushpool Party, one of Loon’s most anticipated spring finales. Adventurous skiers and snowboarders attempt to skim across a man-made slush pond—with hilarious results. Whether you’re participating or watching from the sidelines, it’s a uniquely spring spectacle that captures the season’s carefree spirit.

Beyond the Slopes

Spring at Loon isn’t just about skiing—it’s about enjoying the full mountain experience. The warming weather makes it a great time to explore Lincoln, NH, just minutes from the resort. The town offers charming shops, breweries, and restaurants that stay buzzing throughout the season. For those interested in local events, the Governor Adams Cup in late March is another highlight, supporting young athletes through a fun and friendly competition.

And if you’re not quite ready to hang up your skis at day’s end, head back to The Mountain Club for a soak, a sauna session, or a fireside cocktail with views of the slopes you conquered earlier. This seamless blend of adventure and ease is what sets a spring stay at the Mountain Club apart.

Celebrate the Season in Style

Spring skiing at Loon Mountain is more than just a final hurrah for winter—it’s a celebration of the season’s change, the mountain’s beauty, and the joy of slowing things down. With longer days, festive events, and warm hospitality, this is the perfect time to savor everything Loon has to offer.

And at The Mountain Club on Loon, you’re not just visiting—you’re part of the mountain. Whether you’re chasing soft spring turns, soaking up the sunshine, or toasting to a great season, there’s no better place to call home base.
