Visit a sugar shack in your area and taste fresh maple sugar poured onto the snow.
A visit to a local producer is both educational and fun! Usually, sugar shacks will open their doors from February to April.
You should call the maple sugar producer and find out if the sap is running. They are a hive of activity when it is above freezing in the day and bellow freezing at night. And there is nothing quite as pleasing to the nose than walking into the building where hundreds of liters of sap are being boiled into maple syrup.
