Colorado Ski Country USA is sending out one last “SHOUT OUT” to all skiers and snowboarders to check out spring happenings at some of the trade association’s member’s ski areas and resorts.
The snow might be melting fast, but there’s still enough to ski and ride on, plus in the afternoons, find yourself a place along the pond skim pool, mingling in the après scene or taking advantage of early season deals for next year; it’ll be better, it has to!
Spring Events at some favorite Colorado ski areas
Arapahoe Basin slides into April and May with a full slate of events, including the 37th Annual Enduro on April 8, the Summit Telemark Festival on April 17 & 18, Flavor Basin on May 9, and Gay Basin on May 30 & 31.
Aspen’s Spring Jam runs from March 27–29, with Buttermilk’s Bacon Day & Pond Skim on April 5. Snowmass closes April 11, Highlands on April 12, and Aspen Mountain April 19 (guide to the Four Mountain Finale).
