Spring Storm Delivers April Powder To Utah, Colorado

The latest spring snowstorm dropped up to 20 inches in the Rocky Mountains, delivering outstanding  (mid-winter) spring conditions for the remainder of the season for resorts in Utah and Colorado.

Utah’s Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley Resort picked up 20 inches of new snow from the latest storm, while Colorado’s Aspen Highlands received 13 inches and Monarch Mountain picked up 11 inches of fresh snow.

The fresh April powder gives visitors a great excuse to head to the high country for the final weeks of the season. Colorado is known for having one of the longest ski seasons in the country, and once again Mother Nature has yielded an opportunity for guests to ski through June at Arapahoe Basin.
