The mountains typically get dumps of snow in April.

But "... no two winters are the same,” says Nathan Rafferty, President/CEO of Ski Utah. “Some years we open early and some are a little delayed, but Utah’s winter season is long and should be enjoyed until the end.” 

Spring comes, and events start popping up.

The annual 16-day Spring Grüv event series at Park City Mountain runs through April 8 and includes concerts, pond skimming on April 7, and other fun activities.

Down south, Brian Head is hosting the annual Spring Carnival on April 7 that include bikini slalom, cardboard sled race and much more. 

At  Snowbasin on April 14 there' pond skimming, live music and fun prizes for the family. 

Also on April 14, Powder Mountain holds a good old fashioned Prom with prizes for best outfits, best table dancers and limbo winners.
