How is Colorado skiing in late March/early April?

So I'm at a new school this year and instead of having spring break in late February, it's gonna be around late March or early April. I know some Colorado ski resorts close around mid-April, but i was wondering if the skiing in early April is still good at that time of year or is it getting more warm/slushy. Would it would be better if I went after Christmas? We might be going to Vail or Beaver Creek or Keystone.

That's absolutely the best time to come to Colorado. March is the snowiest month and April isn't too far behind. Stay away from low altitude places like Vail, or BC. You'll have the freeze thaw cycle going on - will be ice in the morning and slush in the PM. Go to Loveland, A-Basin, Winter Park. Two feet of fresh powder on Closing Day in mid-April is not uncommon at Winter Park. It was snowing hard at A-Basin through May this past season.

Here's A-Basin this past May. It was fun. http://www.associatedcontent.com/slideshow/52584/photos_arapahoe_basin_ski_area_on_may.html?cat=16

Prices will be cheaper then too on everything - tickets, hotel, food.

Crowds will be high at Christmas and any holiday. The snow can be sketchy at Xmas sometimes too. Spring Break in March can be crazy packed.

Been skiing since 1978. Been working in the Colorado ski industry since 2002. Avidly snowboarded/skied in Colorado since 1988.
