Best Ski Resorts in the USA for Snow in April

April skiing in the USA is defined by a small number of resorts that consistently hold snow late into spring. Snowbird leads the April rankings at 155cm, with Loveland at 137cm and Alta at 121cm. These three resorts have terrain and elevation that keeps April snowfall meaningful long after lower resorts have closed or moved to spring conditions.

The April rankings diverge significantly from the rest of the season. California's Sierra resorts, which featured strongly in January through March, fall back in April with Squaw Valley dropping to #14 and Kirkwood to #15. Colorado's high altitude resorts hold up well, with Loveland at #2, Winter Park at #5, Arapahoe Basin at #7, and Breckenridge at #8 all performing strongly. Wolf Creek in New Mexico appears at #9, its high base elevation keeping April snowfall reliable.

Reliability matters more in April than any other month. Check the reliability score alongside the average snowfall figure before planning a late season trip.
