Spring is Still Snow Season

Warmer temps and tons of snow make springtime in Wyoming full of adventures for every type of traveler

CHEYENE. – Home to a combination of deeply rooted culture, historic landmarks, western hospitality, cowboy culture, stunning landscapes and outdoor adventures, Wyoming’s “secret season” might be the best time to take in this great state. March and April are the snowiest months in Wyoming, making many of the state’s best winter activities possible well into the spring. Meanwhile, increasingly warm temperatures support a full menu of things to do like spring skiing, fat biking, snowmobiling, hot springs and more.

Spring skiing season serves as a “last call” of sorts before the slopes for area resorts close for the summer, typically enjoyed from late February to early April when temperatures begin to warm. Resorts tend to offer lift tickets at lower rates during this time. Spring skiing also can mean shorter lift lines, great powder and sunny skies

Snowmobiling: Many of the state’s snowmobiling areas receive enough snowfall to keep trails open until mid-March or later. The Wyoming Range, between Alpine and Kemmerer, has about 336 miles of trails that can have substantial snow for riding through May. The popular

Continental Divide Snowmobiling Trail follows the Wind River Range for 829 miles and has a grooming season that typically runs until mid-March. Visit the Wyoming State Trails website for maps and up-to-date trail conditions. Other places for sled heads to ride include the Snowy Range, Sierra Madre Mountains and Beartooth Mountains.

Hot Springs: The Cowboy State’s hot springs are open year-round, but are especially heavenly when there’s snow on the ground. Thermopolis’ Hot Springs State Park has free indoor and outdoor soaking pools, while Saratoga is home to the pampering Saratoga Resort & Spa and Hobo Pool, a locals’ favorite. Other soaking locales include Granite Hot Springs in Jackson and Boiling River Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. Learn more about hot springs in Wyoming.

Be sure to add Snow King Resort’s new 9,000 square foot spa to your list.
