Late Season Skiing Help
 
Ok, can any of you folk out west give me a good assessment of what the late season skiing conditions may be like at your area resorts? Due to work stuff I'm probably only going to make it out west around April 16. At this point anywhere is fine Colorado, California, Utah. Just want a good chance at having good conditions and a place or two that is still open.

Perhaps Arapahoe Basin, which is open until early June I believe.

I wouldn't recommend ANY Colorado resorts in April. The skiing sucks. But if you're just coming out for the sun and to kick back, it can be a lot of fun.

Most of the resorts now close mid-April except for the little ones like A-Basin. I would think something farther north like Jackson Hole would be a much better option that late in the year.

you can also try Brighton in Utah for late skiing like that. They are usually open longer than we are in CO.

If you a little earlier, you'll have a few different resorts to ski that are close together.

That will be pointless. Breck in Feb is nothing like Breck in April.
