That's not really that late in the season so you should have good snow and skiing and the advantage of sunshine - mind you after saying that it will probably snow all week now !!

First choose your country.
Then look for high resorts with high skiing. North facing slopes will hold the snow much better and be less slushy in the afternoon.
In France I would be looking for a resort with north facing slopes at or above 1600m. With skiing up to at least 2800m.
I'm not so sure of heights in Austria for instance but someone will know.
With a late booking you can wait and see how the snow develops over the next couple of months.
But bare in mind that you are running into Easter week and kids on holiday so will be taking a gamble on availability.

Trust you to be sensible!

I will let you know on Monday if this week is a waste of time skiing :mrgreen:

Keep away from sparks and naked flames or your cockles won't be all that's warmed!

Nearly packed now!
Bound to have forgotten something but hey ho :mrgreen: that's what CC's are for!

Now I am pleased I am a pedantic old f*** and washed and put my ski gear away neatly last Easter.

Gatwick here I come :D

I shall be interested to find out what I think of L2A, went there once in about 1993 and wasn't terribly impressed but conditions weren't great.
