Killington

Just skied there on Easter Weekend 2011 all I say is WOW. great snow depth and 3 peaks open.

Mammoth Mtn. CA

Open thru 4th of July!.....and beats any of the areas you mention above, by far! Steeper and longer runs, super well maintained and salted several times per day. Unbelievable cruising, as well as off-piste skiing from 10.000ft. on down. Top national racers in training until noon, totally inspireing!... after which the race courses come down and you can go full tilt on their groomers!! Wow Wow!! Great restaurants and bars for later, etc

Lake Louise

From Kokanee Kabin on the front side with live bands and front row seats to the famous Alberta Sunshine, to Temple Beach on the backside, a great place for suntanning and BBQs, and with lots of fun events/contests etc. up until the first weekend of May, there is no better place to enjoy spring skiing than Lake Louise. The snow is great, the skies are blue, the sun is warm and the beers are cold!

Beaver Creek/Bachelor Gulch

Check out this area, specifically the Gulch. Intimate - I like it. I stay at the Eastwest Resort there. http://www.eastwestbachelorgulch.com

Beaver Creek - when the bumps on Grouse get soft and the Birds get a little more forgiving it can't be beat!

Telluride

Telluride has such a high altitude that the conditions are amazing!

Sunshine Village

Sunshine Village has great spring skiing - the season goes on right until the end of May so plenty of spring skiing to be had!

Big Sky

Over the last 3 Spring Breaks Big Sky by far has been the best between Snowmass, Canyons and Steamboat.

Vail

Even better - we've still got winter skiing here. Over a foot of snow in the last 24 hours and it's still snowing.

Le Massif 45 minutes east of Quebec City. Views are spectacular of the St. lawrence Seaway

Best spring skiing is at Killington, of course! Bump off with the best mogul skiers at the 26th Annual Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge on Outer Limits the weekend of April 4-5th...it's an event not to be missed, along with a visit to Aspen East Ski Shop & Surf the Earth Snowboards on Route 4 in Killington, with awesome end of season sales. Shopping is a sport.

Saddleback Maine

Check out the Cardboard Box Race on the 28th and the Pond Skimming the following week. How much more fun can you have?

Aspen Highlands, Snowmass are great mountains. Aspen is a wonderful old silver mining town - great restaurants & shops Hotel Jerome is a must see when you visit. Going there next season. One more trip this year, looking forward to spring skiing in Park City beginning April 4th.
