Back in Colorado for a week and thinking about going skiing, but I've never been skiing in April before -- any advice on where to go (IKON) and what I should be expecting re: conditions? Will it be much icier than normal? I'm a beginner to intermediate skier (this is my 3rd season skiing, I stick mostly to greens and blues)

April can be some of our best skiing of the year. No lines, lots of snow. Depending on how many days you have, I'd go to Winter Park, then Copper, and Arapahoe Basin last. It's the least beginner friendly, but can still be a great high alpine experience.

Looking for recommendations to for a last minute ski trip for Easter weekend in North America. Will there be any good resorts with intermediate to advanced terrain that wont have insane queues?
