We've Got the Good Kind of Spring Fever

April 30th, 2026 | by Caitlin Boyarsky

Happy spring everyone! And hello to warmer weather! Did it snow in Vermont last week? Maybe. But I’m choosing to ignore this, and to enjoy the warm-weather activities I’ve been missing.

I love New England in the spring. Small towns like ours truly come alive this time of year. It feels like everyone is waking up from the long slumber of winter. The joy is contagious! Last week, I finally got out on my road bike for the first time and I was grinning from ear to ear the entire ride. And I’m definitely not the only one getting outside. I saw everyone (and their mother) out on the backroads of Richmond, soaking up the sun!

This got me thinking, what other spring activities are people loving? So I asked the team at Bivo what they’ve been doing, eating, and looking forward to in the warmer months and here is what everyone had to say.

Spring skins at Bolton! The long, sunny afternoons have meant that post-work skis are bright and beautiful. Bonus points if lots of friends join!

Best spot for a post-skin treat?

Bolton parking lot, of course! Fire up the grill!

Weekend bikepacking trips throughout places in Vermont I’ve never been to. I’m so excited to try the backpacking recipes Matthew Kadey recommends :)

That's all from the Bivo crew! We hope you're all able to get outside or enjoy some new fun spring activities. I know I'm personally feeling inspired to try one of these cool water sports. Is this the year to try surfing? Why not!

Comment below what spring activity you're getting up to! And if you have any yummy post-activity treat recommendations, drop 'em down below too ;)
