What is the best ski month? I would have to say January because it has the most snow on the East coast.

April/May for the win in CO. Crowds die off, slushy t-shirt days all over the place, and there's always the chance of a late season dump for that last pow day

February is the best. No holidays other than presidents day. Lift tickets are cheap. Hotels/Air BnB is cheap. The snow is the best. And lift lines are smaller

everything local is man made snow so it's usually best in the spring.

In the west dec/jan for the best snow, feb tends to warm up, march you get some heavier storms and great spring skiing.

Any month you're skiing is a great month.

February or March for the Sierra. The base is good some you can get after some good lines when it snows.

End of January to beginning of February. Planned my trip out to Utah during that time because they usually get pounded around then
