Whats your location?

For East Coast I would go with Sugarloaf, Sunday River, or Jay. If you can afford it Stowe is pretty sick too.

Idk about the West Coast.

Mammoth's park is usually really solid in April.

Whistler, no doubt. Sometimes there's rain that late, but more often than not it stays cold

I live in Colorado and Breck and Key have a great park during April with mainly bluebird days. You might even catch a huge dump and shred some pow. I assume Mammoth, Whistler, and the Utah Mountains are sick as well.

Timberline on mt hood in oregon. park is real fun, can still snow a good amount, and no crowds really there until summer hits. and if you hit it right you can buy their spring pass for $100.

Mammoth for sure. The snowpack is really solid in April and everything is dialed in. Also, don't trip about lines, there won't be any, even on weekends and holidays.

I can say that in general utah can have some of its best skiing in april.  Hell 2 years ago it was still snowing hard on closing day at brighton (probably like may 20th or so).  If you want park its there, but really I don't understand why anyone would travel just to ski park
