March and April can be the best time to ski in Utah. These spring storms often dump massive amounts of powder, the sun is more likely to come out, temperatures are warmer, and the resorts are far less crowded. With only a month left in the ski season, now is the time to book a trip if you’re out of state, or put the golf clibs away and head for the mountains.
