Any suggestions on places that should be reliable for Snow the first or second week of March? Beginner to moderate experience levels.

Any of the high elevation places will be great. I’d head for Summit County, CO

Forecasted El Nino season, stay south. Telluride, Durango, Wolf Creek, Taos, etc.

I would go steer clear of Colorado, NM, etc. personally. Go to Utah, Montana, Wyoming, or Canada. Not saying Colorado won't be great, but IMO you are pushing your luck with snow outside of Jan and Feb in Colorado.

Huh? March and April are CO’s snowiest months. Which part of the state gets the most depends on El Nino/La Nina pattern.

Snowmass baw... Me and the wifey did this in March of this year. It was awesome. We are both moderate, no crowds, and about 25 minute ride into Aspen.

So you'd recommend April as the best month to ski in Colorado? It doesn't necessarily matter when the snow falls if it all melts.

If you are local, March and April can be fantastic don't get me wrong. First week or two of March can be fantastic too.

I'm simply saying if I was planning a trip out of state that is my once a year at most ski trip I wouldn't plan on late March in Colorado. Just my 2 cents.

Did snowmass second week of February this year. The week prior, they had hardly any snow and started getting dumped on two days before we arrived. Work circumstances won’t allow going before feb 26 2019 so looking for early March options that are reliable to have snow. Thanks for the feedback.
