Winter isn’t over just yet — but the clock is ticking. With about one month left in the ski season, now’s the time to plan one last trip up the mountain and enjoy everything Ski Apache has to offer before spring officially takes over.
Why Late-Season Skiing Is Worth It
Spring skiing has its own kind of magic, and a lot of people say it’s their favorite time to hit the slopes.
- Warmer daytime temps make skiing more comfortable
- Softer snow later in the day is easier on beginners
- More sunshine means better views and great photo ops
- Fewer crowds compared to peak winter weekends
It’s a more relaxed vibe overall — less bundling up, more enjoying the moment.
Perfect for Beginners and Experienced Skiers
Whether you’re brand new to skiing or just want to squeeze in a few final runs, this time of year works for everyone.
- Beginners can take advantage of lessons and rentals
- Families enjoy the gentler conditions and shorter lift lines
- Experienced skiers can cruise their favorite runs one last time
If skiing has been on your “maybe next year” list, this is a great chance to give it a try before the season wraps up.
Make It a Full Mountain Getaway
A ski day doesn’t have to end when the lifts close.
- Hit the slopes during the day
- Head back to town for a warm meal and a cozy evening
- Enjoy quieter nights, mountain sunsets, and cooler evenings
- Late-season trips often mean better availability for lodging and dining, making it easier to plan a spontaneous weekend escape.
A Few Tips Before You Go
Spring weather in the mountains can change quickly, so a little planning goes a long way.
- Check the daily snow report before heading up
- Dress in layers — mornings can be chilly, warming in the afternoon
- Bring sunglasses or goggles for bright, sunny conditions
- Arrive earlier in the day for the best snow
Don’t Miss Your Last Chance
Once this ski season ends, that’s it until next winter. If you’ve been waiting to plan a trip, or just want one more excuse to enjoy the snow, now’s your window.
Grab your gear, gather your crew, and make the most of the final weeks at Ski Apache before winter officially melts into spring.
