The Insiders Guide to Spring in Squamish

Spring is a refreshing time of year in Squamish when the winter doldrums are lifted and you can finally get outdoors to enjoy the sunshine. The days are longer and the weather is still cool enough that you can enjoy powder in the morning, SUP in the afternoon, and then go for a mountain bike ride in the evening. It’s the perfect time of year to get out and truly enjoy your favourite activities to create a multi-sport day. The daylight gets increasingly longer as we head into summer, which may leave you wondering how to make the most out of the extended hours. We created this Insiders Guide to Spring in Squamish to help you say farewell to winter and make the most of the long sunshiny days in Squamish.

Spring is the perfect time to enjoy one of Squamish’s many patios. Enjoy the stunning outdoor views, soak up some much-needed rays after the long months of winter, and partake of a refreshing beverage.

When hitting the Squamish patios, remember these three things:

Always dress warmly. Even though it is initially sunny and warm, the weather can change.
Arrive before sunset to enjoy Happy Hour.
