Ignore the jerks!
Us regulars know that you are not a troll.Good luck with the research..I cannot help you here.I have always enjoyed Wintergreen (though probably not in April)and it's closer to you than me.
Take care

The last word is Amen which I am sure is not part of your vocabulary.
Christie, thanks for the good words. This post is getting old already. I hope it gets removed.
I like Wintergreen. It is very crowded when skiing. In April, the flowers are all blooming. No snow there.
Oh well, I will look again later as the time comes. Just was nosing around for ideas. I am always planning my next trip..

girlonthego,
I asked this question last year and got lots of good answers. Here is the thread:

We had booked into Heavenly at Tahoe this past April, but we had to postpone because of business reasons, so I can't help you there. (We're going the week after Xmas, instead)
I also asked this question on the Canada board. I'll try to dig up the answers I got there.

Hi girlonthego
Both Jasper and Banff National Parks in Canada have good skiing through April, of course someone may have already told you this on the Canadian board. Judy from Calgary can give you tons of information about both these areas. She is a regular on the Canadian board. Happy skiing!

Thanks IVK and Atilla!! I appreciate your old posts ivk and your information Atilla. I will look into the possiblility for a Tahoe spring break or a Canadian spring break. I like to decide about a year in advance because I try to get frequent flyer tickets for some of us. (The perks of hubby's traveling job). I usually will call mid May for a spring vacation the following year. So, I am now sending away for info on the different places.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi Girlonthego
Several years ago I stayed in Summit County, Colorado, in early April. That's near Keystone, A-basin, Copper Mountain, and Breckenridge. That worked out well.
I hope you enjoy your trip and don't let the a$$holes get you down.

I hate to add negativity, but why in the word would a troll post a question about skiing?
girlonthego - I plan my vacations way far ahead too, so I can relate. We're considering spring skiing in Utah in March 2007. (Next year we're heading to Utah in Feb., and the year after my kids spring break will be early). May you have lots of great snow and not fall too many times (like me!)

Big Mountain, Whitefish, Montana NORMALLY has snow till late April. But because the ski area is on federal land it must close by April 15 so as not to piss off the Grizzly bears.
Anytime before April 15 should be okay.
