What April feels like
Aspen Mountain shuts down partway through the month and mud season starts in earnest — kitchens go dark, rates collapse, and half the valley leaves for Moab. Independence Pass stays gated until around Memorial Day, so Highway 82 down-valley is your only way out.
Winter is doing its thing: 20.9 in of snow in a typical April, with fresh snow on about 8 days. about 25 nights dip below freezing.
