BEST WESTERN EUROPE SNOW ON MARCH 25TH???

Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:26:52 GMT

I'm planing a trip on march 25th.
Was thinking on hitting INSBRUCK, ST.MORITZ,VERBIER.
I haven't been in any of these places, so I ask more experient and local mates: what can you tell me about the snow quality?
Also, if you had to pick 2 or 3 three best places to go snowboarding (in western europe) in march 25th, where would you go???
Thanks.

I've done st Moritz in jan, lots of high skiing there
I've also skied verbier early April and had amazing snow
I wouldn't choose to ski lower Austrian resorts later season

But

......nothing is ever the same and weather will do what it does any time of year so there is no definitive answer to your original question.

Pick somewhere with high slopes to be safe though, above 1500m as a minimum ideally

when you guys say above 1500 m, you mean the bottom lift or the top lift?

You will also need to investigate into which direction the slopes face !!!!!
North Colder keeps snow better and longer, south warmer gets more sun so snow not so good quality.
