Zion/Bryce/Arches will also be open, but I'd expect decent snowpack there as well.

For a 4 day long weekend, pick one of Sedona/Flagstaff/S. Rim (fly in to PHX) or Zion/Bryce/Arches (fly in to LAS). Personally, I like Zion/Bryce/Arches better. Maybe hit the highly underrated Capitol Reef NP as well.
Given the amount of snow that has hit the SW that may not be the case this year. The mountains were bare last week and I believe they still are.
