Officially most resorts open Dec. 1 and close at the end of “Golden week” (the first week of May). Snow conditions vary but are typically at their best from mid December to late March. It is possible to be ridding powder as early as late November and those bluebird days in April are perfect for cruisers, park and backcountry hikes.
