Answer 1

Colorado in March is awesome. I've skiied in great conditions with a t-shirt on and got a sunburn. Have fun!

Answer 2

Slush is some of the best snow conditions to ride in. If I can't get powder, give me slush.

I'll be in Vail April 6 through the 13th and I'm looking forward to the spring conditions. But don't forget that you can pretty much expect any and all conditions from lots of powder to ice to slush in the spring time. You really never can tell but it's a safe bet it'll be warm and slushy.

Answer 3

If you go to Colorado or Alaska (maybe even Montana or Wyoming) you will be just fine. Everywhere else will most likely be some good snow but slush, water, and dirt will find the bottom of your board somewhere on the runs.

Answer 4

while you're open to going to whistler could definately advise it. I even have been to diverse ski factors in the rockeis, alta, snowbird, taos, breckenridge, aspen they have been all sturdy yet my fashionable mountain has been whistler by using fact it is so huge and has lots diverse terrain, and in the spring whistler nevertheless gets dumped on. in case you nevertheless % to snowboard in the rockies i could advise snowbird.

Answer 5

stay on the top or in the back bowls. ride the gondola down at the end of the day. the only slush you should see is right at the end of the run as it hits the village.

Answer 6
