As the snow softens and the sunshine lingers longer each day, Mount Snow celebrates the changing season in true Vermont style—with reggae, sunshine, slushy turns, and good vibes all around. Every spring, Mount Snow’s legendary Reggaefest weekend brings together skiers, riders, and music lovers for one of the most beloved events of the year.
If you’re planning a late-season getaway to Valley View Villa, Reggaefest is the perfect excuse to soak in the mountain’s party atmosphere, enjoy live music, and make the most of spring skiing in the Green Mountains.
🎶 What is Reggaefest?
Reggaefest is Mount Snow’s signature spring music festival, typically held in late March, featuring:
- Live reggae bands playing all weekend
- A giant outdoor stage at the base of the mountain
- DJ sets and après parties at Cuzzins and around the resort
- Costumes, lawn games, giveaways, and more
It’s a fun, family-friendly event with a festival vibe—complete with dancing in ski boots, colorful outfits, and plenty of sunshine (most years!).
🗓️ When & Where
- Dates: Usually the last or second-to-last weekend in March (check Mount Snow’s event calendar for current year details)
- Main Stage: Outside the Main Base Lodge
- Après Spots: Cuzzins Bar & Grill, Snow Barn, and outdoor patios across the resort
🎿 Reggae + Spring Skiing = The Perfect Combo
While the music is the main event, the skiing can be fantastic too. Spring conditions mean:
- Warmer weather and soft snow in the afternoon
- Fewer layers needed—and sometimes even skiing in a t-shirt
- Playful terrain parks and moguls for those looking to show off
- A chance to demo gear, enter contests, and enjoy the mountain’s fun, relaxed energy
Don’t forget your sunscreen—and maybe your retro one-piece ski suit if you really want to join the party.
