Utah What resort from Evanston, WY

[Slim]

Hi,

I have a friend with family in Evanston, WY. She wants to visit them and do some skiing with her kids. Beginner/intermediate skiing, small area is fine.

Powder Mountain and Snowbasin are closish, but maybe smaller areas I haven’t heard of. Any tips?

Question 2:
If it was Mid April, where would you recommend?

Pine Creek is about 1.5 hours north of Evanston, just east of Cokeville, WY. Pretty cool little mom and pop hill, only open on weekends. You'd have the hill to yourselves. I've been there on a Saturday when I was the first customer on the hill, a half hour after the lifts started. I don't think their season makes it to mid-April usually, however. Their calendar of events is empty in April.

Mid-April? None of the above unless we get lucky.

Lived there years back. Seems like the Canyons were still open but was sloppy sticky in many places- it is only 40 minutes out though...

Powder Mountain has Ben closing first week of April no matter what. Two years they closed on April 7th-ish with a ton of base left. Depressing.
Park City is very close but $$$ as you know.

That time of year whatever is open out of Alta/Brighton/Solitude. Mid winter Powder/Snowbasin/Beaver would be great but probably going to be a little sloppy that time of year. If they're paying window or near window rate for tickets then just check the weather a few days before as mid April storms are still possible.

Avoid Snowbird due to terrain difficulty.

Yeah, it was two separate questions:
Where if mid winter, and where if mid april
