Just that, really. Can't get away till April as I can't get holiday before then - so am looking at the 5th to the 12th April.

Has anyone been to that region around then, and how bad was it?

The hotel I spoke to said all would be fine - but they would say that, wouldn't they? We'd be staying in Gerlos with children using the village lift to learn. Would there be enough cover, based on past years' average?

Any info greatly appreciated...
Somewhere near Salzburg for a family?

I'm planning next year's half term ski holiday. It's a first for our family so I need somewhere hassle free to get them used to the idea. I'm a passable skier and have been begging to go for years, but husband has only been once before - with school yonks ago somewhere in Bulgaria, just after it was post-communist and a bit rubbish so he hated it. I need somewhere good to change his mind...

He's not a great flier so we're limited to resorts accessible from Salzburg as our local airport flies to there, and we also need childcare and ski lessons for children aged 9, 7 and 3 with no previous experience.

My ideal hotel or whatever would be half board, have a hot tub and be next to the slopes so no need for minibus rides. There would also be ice skating nearby and horse/sleigh rides and sledging.

All suggestions of anywhere that fits this bill welcome, thanks!
