What’s So Special About Spring Skiing?
As winter retreats, the ski season reawakens in Steamboat with a sun-kissed twist. Ditch the parka and pack your sunscreen! The mountains grow warm, and the snow takes on a whole new texture. But don’t worry- that doesn’t mean that the quality of the ski slopes goes down. In the spring, you’ll get to enjoy a whole new skiing experience with lots of features that you’re sure to love, including the spring’s signature “corn snow.”
Thanks to the melt-freeze cycle, you get to ski in new snow textures, such as “corn snow.” Corn snow is some of the best snow for carving turns. This makes every run exhilarating!

The stunning landscape becomes a lot more comfortable as the weather warms and the atmosphere becomes quiet. Warmer weather means you get to spend more time outside. Smaller crowds means shorter lift lines and fewer disruptions! Altogether, this means you’ll get to savor the slopes without any hassle! You can race down your favorite runs over and over again.
Spring Skiing in Park City
In the spring, Park City boasts beautiful weather. The sunshine is unbelievable! What’s even better is that the sun doesn’t interrupt the snow. While the snowpack can be variable, the resort's location, snowmaking, and snow grooming usually allows it to maintain good conditions and stay open until at least mid-April.
Spring is peaceful at the resort. Peak season crowds melt away with the ice! There will likely be a resurgence of activity around spring break, when many families and college students arrive to enjoy time off. Otherwise, the resort will be quiet and calm.
Be sure to take some time to enjoy the attractions off of the slopes! There are lots of awesome activities available around Park City in the spring. You can hike or bike scenic trails, take a relaxing soak in the hot springs, explore the shops in the charming village, or indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment while you’re in town! The options are almost limitless!
