Spring in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains and world-class resorts is the "Golden Hour" of the ski season. From late March through mid-April, Park City, Deer Valley and the resorts of the Cottonwoods offer the perfect blend of high-energy après and refined luxury. From energetic slopeside concerts and classic spring festivals to Michelin-starred dining, the Spring 2026 lineup in Utah can’t be missed. Here is your curated guide to the premier spring events across Utah’s top ski destinations for 2026.

As the days grow longer, Park City Mountain transforms into Utah’s premier spring playground, kicking off the spring social season with its Peaks & Beats music festival March 26-28. This multi-day festival brings a vibrant après-ski energy to Canyons Village, featuring free outdoor concerts from headliners like Andy Frasco & The U.N. and Electric Guest. Wine enthusiasts shouldn't miss Spring Wine Fest, April 9–11, at Canyons Village where grand tastings and paired luncheons allow you to trade your goggles for a glass of rosé. Celebrate the end of the season in classic ski-town fashion with the annual Pond Skim, April 11 where costumed contestants skim, splash or sink while attempting to cross a 100+ foot pond on skis or snowboards—a must-watch event that perfectly captures the resort’s playful spirit.

For a sophisticated spring retreat, Deer Valley continues to set the gold standard with its meticulous grooming and elevated "ski-only" atmosphere. This season, the resort leans into its roots with the High West & History on the Slopes tour March 24, where guests can enjoy guided history lessons on the mountain’s mining past followed by a whiskey-paired fondue lunch. Slopeside Sets return to the Chute Eleven Yurt this spring select Saturdays where world-class DJs play to a crowd sipping Veuve Clicquot and indulging in caviar service. Weekends starting March 7 the Silver Lake Ski Beach transforms into an exclusive apres lounge with a rotating feature craft cocktails.

Tucked at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon, Alta Ski Area remains the purist’s choice for late-season turns, often boasting the deepest snowpack in the state well into April. The spring calendar is defined by the Snowflake Festival (March 23–28), a beloved community tradition featuring everything from gnome hunts in the "Westward Ho" trees to a legendary mustache competition and talent show. For those looking to connect with the mountain’s natural beauty, the Alta Earth Day celebration on April 12 offers naturalist-led snowshoe tours and eco-friendly workshops. With daily operations running through April 26, Alta provides a soulful, laid-back finale to the Utah ski season.
