Hi, new to the forum. My girlfriend and I are attempting to go first time skiing this year but the soonest we can both book leave from work is 06/04/07 so we'd be spending about a week off somewhere.
My question is where would still have snow at that time of year?
I'm unsure so all suggestions and advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
H

Hi, the last 4 or 5 years april has had one of the best snow of the season, so you should be ok. Due to unusual weather this year, it's hard to say, but we should have a late winter, so april should be fine. You have to search for high resorts though (Tignes, Val d'Isere, Les Arcs...).

Cheers !!

Last year we still had over 60 cm of snow at village level and over 2 metres at altitude. In fact there was still snow at village level in June. La Rosiere is the place for April skiing, it's open until the 27th April and April skiing is often the best of the season, long sunny days and if you find some spring snow it's a bonus. We've got availability at greta value prices, have a look at www.tracksvacations.com for full details.

Hi, Mayrhofen in Austria has very good snow at this time of year, plus there is also the Hintertux glacier, which only takes 40 minutes on the bus, transport free with your lift pass! For more information, visit www.mayrhofen-experience.com
