An acquaintance tells he has skied early May in Tignes regularly over the years with no problems in terms either of snow or the resort's facilities being open. Is this right, as I have the chance of few days there the first week of May ? Thanks for any info.

Unless Tignes really lucks out for the whole of April, they'll likely have some of the best conditions in Europe for early May. Bar extreme circumstances most, if not all, of the ski area and facilities will be open.

If Spring brings the odd storm (as it often does to the Alps) then Tignes will be getting freshies while everyone else gets wet! Go.

That's 4 weeks away!

I think any forecasts (if they existed) would be so long range they'd just be a guess

Nothing yet for so far away but I am watching things very closely.

http://www.tignes.net/en/skiing-in-tignes/interactive-ski-run-map-28.html for the piste map which shows what is open. This one will give you a good idea how the snow is going as runs start to close and snow disapears.
I use www.snow-forecast.com for the actual weather, and the freezing level is really important. Not good at the moment with a week of very warm weather forecast, but no precipitation, which means no rain!!
