Hello! In regards to your question about skiing. Most ski resorts in Utah close by Mid April depending on the amount of snow. Snow Bird Ski resort in open the longest and you have the best chance of being able to ski there. Getting a rental car is easy and its recommended to reserve a car at the Salt Lake Airport. You will need government issued ID as well as proof of being able to drive. A trip to Delicate Arch in April will be fine weather wise. It usually does not snow or rain at that time of year.

Salt Lake City is a beautiful place for the outdoor enthusiast as well as city dwellers. Below are approximate pricing for recommended hotels in downtown. These all received a minimum 4 star rating and close to attractions. There are other more budget friendly hotels in the area if you are interested however they may not be located in as desirable of a location and thus I have not included them.

Hotels: all prices are per day
Marriott City Center - approximate $250 during week, $150 over the weekend (Friday-Sunday)
Hotel Monaco - week day $170-$300, weekend $150-200
The Grand America - similar pricing to above mentioned hotels
Hilton Salt Lake City Center - similar pricing as above
Salt Lake Plaza Hotel - week day $130-$150, weekend $150-$170

Bonneville Salt Flats:
Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes from downtown salt lake and is accessible by car. If taking taxi or other shared car service (Uber or Lyft) you will have to ask them to stay as you explore as there are no other facilities (stores/bathrooms) at the flats. If you go during an event (example: speed racing) there will be restrooms, shops, and food venders. Below is a link with more detail about the flats as well as other areas you may be interested in visiting during your stay.

P.S.
The General Conference of Mormon Church is held on October 6th and 7th. It might better to make reservations earlier if you travel around these dates.
