Mid April - Where to go folks please?

I second the suggestion for basing yourself in Les Arcs. I have been out there in April a few times, and the snow has been deep and plentiful. With a car, you can explore plenty of resorts without breaking the bank, and most of the tourists, and TO's have gone, leaving the slopes....to you :D

why don't you try Hintertux, Austria? High enough and the glacier will still be giving excellent skiing at that time of the year, in fact I'd probably go as far as to say that weather permitting you can get a decent tan in the mid to late afternoon and still ski 'til 1400!! For that matter any glacier resort would do :roll:
