Top Spring Break Ski Destinations for 2025

Spring break isn’t just for hitting the beach. From the middle of March through April, resorts across the country offer some of the best skiing of the season. Longer days, a sun-softened snow base, and après scenes in full swing make for a little time away that will stay in the memory bank for years to come. For those looking for corn laps, sunny days at the mountain, and maybe even a surprise powder day or two, there are a few resorts bound to deliver. 

The Beast of the East gets its nickname for a reason. Killington has a famously long season and often stretches into May, thanks to its deep snowpack and aggressive snowmaking. The Superstar Glacier is a long-lasting stretch of snow on the Superstar Trail, and makes riding an option even on lighter snow years (although, that’s certainly not this one). Spring break at Killington looks like sunny afternoons at the Umbrella Bar, goggle tans, and soft, slushy laps.

Ski Pick: Renoun Endurance 88: Perfect for carving up spring groomers and handling the East Coast’s ever-changing conditions.

California has its reputation for a reason: sunshine, snow, and vibes that just don’t quit. That philosophy extends to Mammoth, a resort that doesn’t just get snow—it gets absolutely dumped on. With an elevation of 11,000 feet and a legendary spring ski scene, Mammoth is a primo spot for March and April turns. Head there for spring break and you’ll find endless terrain, including everything from wide-open bowls to well-maintained parks, and an après scene that thrives in the Cali sunshine.

Ski Pick: Renoun Citadel 107: Ideal for off-piste fun and slush-busting performance in Mammoth’s vast terrain.

Park City has a little something for everyone, making it an easy group decision for spring breakers. The Utah resort delivers over 7,300 acres of terrain and some of the best groomers in the country, so there’s no need to stress skill gaps among the crew. Spring in Utah includes bluebird days and some good timin’ après spots, especially on Main Street. As a bonus: it’s super easy to access from Salt Lake City, making it a convenient choice for those flying in.

Ski Pick: Renoun Citadel 107: A great choice for advanced skiers looking to tackle legendary spring steeps, playful terrain, and everything in between.

Can you talk about après and not include Aspen and the town’s infamous Cloud Nine champagne experience? Probably not. Spring skiing at Aspen Snowmass is all about soft snow, big mountain terrain, and a party hardy après environment. With four mountains to choose from, you can chase the best conditions of that day before tucking into one of the town’s many lounges, bars, and restaurants, including the on-piste and aforementioned Cloud Nine. For advanced skiers who like to push their limits, the resort and its surrounding terrain offers world class spring steeps. It’s classic spring break energy with a luxury twist.

Ski Pick: Endurance 98 and Citadel 107: A do-it-all option for the more après inclined, and a backcountry sleuth that can handle slush as well as powder. 

If you want to ski as late as possible, A-Basin is your place. Known for its high elevation and extended season—sometimes into June—A-Basin’s steeps, bowls, and famous “beach” parking lot scene make it the ultimate spring skiing playground.

Ski Pick: Renoun Endurance 98: Versatile enough for everything from groomers to spring bumps at The Legend.

Go spring skiing at Bachelor and you’ll find long groomers, playful terrain, and one of the best corn snow cycles in the country. The resort’s 360-degree skiing off the summit offers up sun-softened turns for the majority of the day. Bonus: Mt. Bachelor stays open through Memorial Day.

(If you're looking to ski closer to Portland, check out Mount Hood. A short 50-mile drive east of the city, this sprawling resort is home to challenging on and off-piste terrain, and epic views.)

Ski Pick: Renoun Endurance 98: Handles Bachelor’s mix of groomers, corn snow, and side hits with ease.
