Spring Skiing And Resort Closing Dates In 2023

It’s been a blockbuster winter season for many mountain areas and it’s not too late to take advantage! Spring can offer some of the best conditions but you need to hurry, the first resort on our list closes in less than a week!

Soft Snow And Warm Weather

As April churns on, spring weather is starting to take hold. Plants are blooming, pollen is settling and, for mountain locations, the snow has started melting. However, plenty of ski resorts are still open after a banner year for many regions across the U.S. 

In fact, spring skiing is one of the greatest times to be skiing. The skies are clear, the temperatures are warm, and the terrain choices are much easier to manage. Gone, or severely reduced, are the chances of whiteout blizzards, numb fingers, and frozen faces. So, if you like snow and sunshine, get out to the slopes before it all melts!
