Baby, it’s still cold outside — and for some areas of the country, spring skiing offers some of the best powder of the year. Hone your swooshing skills in ski school at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, or participate in a specialty clinic or three- to five-day Mahre Training Center Ski Camp before hitting the slopes. In Colorado at Copper Mountain, shred by day and relax by night in the three pedestrian-friendly village areas brimming with family activities, restaurants, bars, lodging and shopping. Or, combine your snow adventures with heavenly spa experiences at Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa in Stowe, Vt.
