NoHelmet - I went to Bursa (Uludag) about 14 years ago in April. Still plenty of snow but all the lifts had shut because they were all owned by the different hotels which had also shut for the end of season as everyone goes to the beach after Easter!
Its a great drive up there through the National park.
My son TJ went there in 2002 and raced for the British Children's team coming 2nd in the International Slalom event.
The British Children's team send a group there every year to race in the Uludag cup against about another 6-8 nations.
If you visit www.gbjuniorski.com you can see the last few years results from Turkey on there.
It maybe worthwhile contacting Jenny Shute (team manager) via that web site. She will be able to tell you all about Turkey and possible companies that go there.
Hope that helps?
