Obviously the weather dictates it, so just historically when do I have until. I'll have time off in March and would like to hit the slopes if I can.

Years ago Arapohoe Basin touted themselves as staying open the longest, into June.

March should have all slopes open. Plenty of spring breakers there.

Most close about mid April. March is normally a good time to go. A bit less crowded, normally still good snow and you can wear shorts.

Enjoy. I lived in Snowmass for a few years.

I've been during Easter and Spring Break many times and never had a problem with snow.

You can make a ski trip whenever you want. May want to make sure there is snow though.
