With April Fools’ Day in the rearview, we’ve entered full on shenanigan season at Utah ski resorts. A monster winter has left us with the fattest spring snowpack in recent memory, which when combined with sunshine, live music, costumes and pond skims should make for some epic late season shredding and festivities. Resorts are finalizing closing dates for the 2019, with some like Snowbasin taking advantage of all that extra base to extend the ski season while others like Park City are sadly sticking to the status quo and shutting down in the coming days. Here’s an updated roundup of Utah Ski Resort closing dates and special springtime events to help you close out the season in style no matter where you hit the slopes.
