We'll be going o a 10 day long trip to cali last days of march. Cali locals: What 6-8 resorts should we go to? I understand the chances of getting good pow are not very high so we're aiming for a spring park trip.

Mammoth is really all you need to know. June is usually pretty sick right before they close too.

Alpine has sick jumps and Boreal has lots of jibs. I'll add Sierra at Tahoe, pretty fun park.

Mammoth is good obviously, but tahoe has some really sick spring parks. I would try to spend a least a day each at squaw, alpine, northstar, and boreal.

I ride Bear 4 days a week typically.

Spring conditions are almost ridiculous for us. 70 degrees on the hill, tons of jibs, but the spring season doesn't last too long. Just go to Mammoth.

Squaw, Northstar, Sierra, Mammoth, Boreal. If you want you can go to Northstar for a day then leave an hour early and drive 20 mintues and go night skiing at Boreal. Super fun

for the most part all the parks in tahoe are most fun in the spring
Northstar and Sierra are really at there best in the spring I think
Squaw and Alpine usually have amazing jumps toward the end of the season.
Boreal will most likely have really fun jibs up for the remainder of the year and hopefully will be putting some better looking jumps up soon.
Heavenly's park has been getting better every week this year so that could be another fun place to check out.
if Kingvale is still happening this year it is a really good place to head if you want to get a super cheap lift ticket to just lap a rope tow and shred some jibs for a day
and of coarse if your willing to make the drive to Mammoth it has the best spring park all around!

I skied there for the first time in a decade. The jumps are pretty much garbage and the amount of ride on rails was pretty ridiculous. The sheer number of features was pretty cool though and there were a couple of innovative ones.
