Anywhere to ski last week in April?

Thanks everyone. I was just looking at the calendar and realised that because of the public holiday for The Wedding on Friday 29th April and our school being closed until Wed 27th April, we could go away that week and only miss 2 working days. :D

Obergurgl

Yes, but probably a bit sticky at resort level, at the end of April. Nice village, though.

I would wait check the snow conditions then decide

Dave, Obergurgl is a very high resort at 1930m, and I know people who ski there late April and often into May, and they have more fresh snow than in the height of winter.
I suggested it on the basis of knowing people who regularly go there year in year out very late in the season BECAUSE the snow is not a problem.

Have a look at Engelberg above Lucerne, ski at the Titlis glacier. Central Switzerland always get good snow. Its easy accessible from Zurich, the train goes all the way to the village centre.

By the afternoon, the runs back into the resort were very slushy - puddles everywhere at resort level.

Yes yes but thats common across Europe this season. In fact, I'd wager Obergurgl has held up better than the vast majority of other alpine ski stations this season.
We need to remember this season has been shocking in terms of conditions, so Obergurgl in hindsight was a good choice for Ally. I suggested it as I would think its as good as anywhere at this time of year. On reflection, I wouldn't bother going end of April this year and pay for a trip for next season.
Hows Niederau at the end of April.......closed?
