For many skiers and snowboarders, winter powder gets all the attention.<\/strong> But ask seasoned riders when they love skiing the most, and many will point to spring. Longer days, sunshine, softer snow, and laid-back mountain vibes make late-season skiing one of the most enjoyable times to be on the hill.<\/p>\n

By March and April, most mountains have reached their deepest snowpacks of the season<\/strong>. That means coverage is excellent, the snow is typically stable and avalanche risk is diminished, terrain is wide open, and you can ski lines that might have been thin or rocky earlier in the winter. Add in warmer temperatures and bluebird skies, and the experience on the mountain feels completely different from the cold, stormy days of mid-winter. And for some reason, many lose interest or move on to other activities, which means fewer crowds and more time actually riding.<\/p>\n
