"Jay Peak deserves a spot on this list because it is doing something very few East Coast ski areas are still doing this late in the season: skiing like it is still March. Current Jay reports show roughly 80 of 83 trails open, all 9 lifts spinning, and a season total near 400 inches after a huge back half of March."
"Whistler Blackcomb is still very much in the game. Current reports show 229 cm of snow depth, 33 of 35 lifts spinning, and 282 of 342 trails open. At this point in the calendar, that combination of scale and coverage is hard to beat anywhere on the continent."
"If your readers care more about serious skiing than springtailgate energy, Snowbird belongs near the top. Official conditions showed a 72-inch base and 248 inches of season snowfall, while current snow reporting listed 14 of 14 lifts open, 89 of 149 trails open, and 175 cm of snow depth."
"Sunshine Village is exactly the kind of place that becomes more interesting as the season drags on. Its official spring operations are designed to maximize the skiing experience as conditions evolve."
As of March 31, the best spring skiing resorts in North America are determined by current snow conditions, open terrain, and elevation. Jay Peak in Vermont boasts 80 of 83 trails open and a strong late-season coverage. Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia offers impressive scale with 282 of 342 trails open. Snowbird in Utah maintains winter-like conditions with a 72-inch base and 14 lifts operational. Sunshine Village in Alberta becomes increasingly appealing as the season progresses, showcasing the importance of quality over mere snow depth.
