Skiing in Colorado in April?

Question

I haven't been to Colorado but can anyone tell me if there is any snow there the first of April normally. I would like to go at that time never been and was wondering. Also please tell me where is a good place to go, I would be a very amateur skier.

Answer 1

Yes, there will be snow at nearly all the ski resorts. It is a great time of year to ski because it is rarely cold but sometimes the slopes can get a bit slushy. oh, and try Copper Mountain!!

Answer 2

Well this year there may still be snow to ski on in April. The mountains are at 198% of the annual snowfall. Very good year.
There are a ton of places, Winterpark, Breckenridge, Aspen, Vail, Monarch, Loveland, Keystone, etc. just do a search for ski colorado and you'll get a ton of info!

Answer 3

Winter Park is pretty close to there. I live a few hours away from denver so i go there alot. Also the two biggest ski areas in the world are right here in CO. Vail and Steamboat. They are amazing. But i think as far as spring skiing goes go to A basin. They are open longest and normally get the most snow throughout spring time. Cheers!

Answer 4

Can't speak to Colorado, but here in Salt Lake City, I've seen skiiers as late as July! Typically, the resorts here close in May or June, though. Again, I can't say for sure because I don't ski, but those last few weeks might just be for snowboarders. But I do know that our lift tickets are a lot cheaper than Colorado's.

Answer 5

Arapahoe Basin - they will be skiing there well into May. The place to go for that Colorado skier tan.

Answer 6

Normally yes.

For a good beginner resort, try Keystone. You can go to Arapahoe Basin from there, but if you're a beginner, I'd stick with Keystone. A-Basin can be done too, but you'd probably have a better overall experience at Keystone.
