Bill Anderson says that a storm-filled March brought tons of snow to the Atlantic province and it paid dividends for visitors looking to ski or snowboard.

“Oh, it was a perfect March,” he said on Thursday. “March was excellent.”

However, the weather made up for an extreme cold streak in January that meant fewer people wanted to turn up on the mountain.

A sporadic series of weather events didn’t help any in February, he added, with attendance being way down.
