A spring ski day usually starts with a handful of runs and ends up stretching out. There’s live music at the base, a pond skim in the afternoon, and lifts spinning later. The next few weeks are packed with events, and there are some solid late season offers mixed in. Here’s what’s happening:
Spring is when some of the most recognizable on-mountain events stack up.
Arapahoe Basin rolls into April and May with a full slate, including the 37th annual and re-imagined Enduro on April 8. Aspen’s Spring Jam runs March 27–29, while Buttermilk has finished out the season, Highlands closes March 29, Snowmass closes April 11, and Aspen Mountain April 19 (guide to the Four Mountain Finale).
Pond skims start to take over the calendar in early April. Copper Mountain’s Sunsation weekend lands April 25–26, closing things out with its pond skim on April 26. Steamboat wraps the season April 11–12 with a closing weekend celebration, including the cardboard classic and pond skim.
Elsewhere, Echo Mountain keeps things light with Decade Duos on March 20, “Anything But Ski Clothes” on March 29, and an inflatable-themed day on April 4.
It’s a safe bet that somewhere on the mountain in the spring, there’s music playing.
look forward to Copper Live April 18, leading into Sunsation April 25–26. Play Forever Thursdays continue through the rest of the season. At Eldora, Play Forever Wednesdays and Coworking Collective Thursdays carry on, with all-day DJ sets on weekends Friday through Sunday.
Arapahoe Basin offers $50 lift tickets and $50 one-hour private lessons every Wednesday through the rest of the season (lessons must be booked at ticket office). Purgatory has dropped lift ticket prices to under $100 when purchased online, with some days as low as $49 starting March 20.
Steamboat rolls out $99 lift tickets beginning April 6, and Winter Park marks Mary Jane’s 50th with $50 lift tickets on Thursdays.
Snag an Aspen Invite ticket for access to $169 lift tickets available to passholders from other mountains at the ticket window. Loveland will introduce late-season ticket pricing starting April 6.
Granby Ranch is offering a buy-now, ski-now option for the 2026–27 season, with access for the rest of this season included. Monarch Mountain’s Wings Pass does the same, covering the remainder of this season and all of next, along with partner resort benefits.
Powderhorn has 2026–27 season passes available at $399 for teens and adults through April 6, and Sunlight’s 2026-27 passes are on sale now, including unique family pass options.
Not everything fits neatly into an event or a deal…
Arapahoe Basin continues its weekly intermediate and advanced adult clinics on Mondays and Fridays, with specialty women’s clinics on March 30 and April 3. Loveland offers intermediate and advanced group lessons each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Eldora hosts Ski with a Ranger days, providing a different way to experience the slopes. Echo Mountain keeps things flexible with its Friends Pass benefit, allowing season passholders to bring a friend for free.
