Jay Peak and Sugarbush made it to May 2016-2014. Sugarbush, Jay Peak, and Stowe make significant snow to top off their natural bounty and stay open as late as possible, into April with special events on Easter. Sunday River resort area has plenty of beds and late season deals can be found for families whether you want condominium convenience or hotel lodging.
April vacation for the family on snow is a good idea here, as are spring events like Parrot Head and pond skimming. Sunday River stockpiles snow all winter, and the lifts typcially keep spinning until May 1, Ski Maynia when its free. Sugarloaf has slopeside lodging aplenty, mountain mascots and excellent kids’ learn to ski and ride programs. Reggaefest at Sugarloaf is more oriented to adults (most of whom like music and partying more than skiing).

Easter is a very festive time with Sugarloaf’s Sunrise Service on the mountain, plus costume parades and egg hunts for the kids. The Loaf even has a “beach” in front of the base lodge, with sun and snow – no sand. The King of Spring keeps going until May often, so you can ski the Loaf for spring break. Sugarloaf in Maine has elevation and a northern location. Look for lodging deals in the hotel and condos as the spring season unfolds, but late season only the Superstar quad runs. Killington has really improved their Ramshead Family Center in recent years, this is a convenient central area for families to access the beginner slopes, and get lessons and rentals. The Beast of the East has been the last ski resort spinning Memorial Day 2018-2013, beating out Sugarloaf and Jay Peak. Killington blows lots of snow and keeps their lifts and events cranking until May on Superstar. Here are some ski resorts in New England that shine come spring time: Of note, the best ski events of the season are typically in spring, Sugarloaf’s Reggaefest, Parrothead at Sunday River and the Bear Mountain Challenge at Killington. Springtime ski trails are well covered and sunny, even equipment prices hit bottom as retailers make way for next season’s gear. Ski resort lodging and lift ticket rates drop as crowds diminish. Temperatures are pleasant, no longer below 0 like popular Martin Luther King weekend. There is typically plenty of man-made snow through April, the only things missing are the huge holiday crowds, hand warmers and face masks. Killington has stayed open for skiing through Memorial Day the last three seasons. New England in March and April brings more snow showers more than bike rides and flowers. Switching to summer sports just because the calendar and the retail stores say its “spring” is short sighted and a disservice to your little downhillers. Springtime is the best time to get your kids on skis, call it March gladness not New Year’s madness.
But come spring, when deep snow pack, high sun and the best conditions prevail, a ski trip is the last thing on a family’s agenda.
Why do parents take their family skiing in snow-deprived December or jaw-clenching cold January? Thye pay premiums for Christmas and Februarys ski vacations, when snow can be thin and crowds thick.
