It is not too late for Europe but I would say head to North America anyway (especially if you haven't been before).

I have only been to a handful of places in Canada (Rockies/Monashees) and would suggest Banff as the base for your holiday... this will give you access to the two resorts with the longest (non-glacial) skiing in Canada; Sunshine Village and Lake Louise.

If you want any more info give me a shout or post here.

Our resort in the interior of BC is closed by then :cry:..not sure about Whistler. Also Not sure when Alberta closes...I think they are still open around that date.

Lake Louise closes start of May.. Sunshine closes at the end of the 3rd week.

In order to correctly answer you must specify if you wish eastern or western parts of America.

Rigth now Western Canada has poor snow coverage! Kicking Horse is rocks and ice! Sorry but that is truth!

Best place is Colorado with a great deal of snow!

Eastern USA and Canada has had three snow storms in past two weeks!

Today I skiing 20 cm. of powder.
Some Maine ski resorts got 22 inches,,that is +40 cm.!!!!!

May I suggest; Killington,,,Stowe,,,Attitash and a small Maine ski resort called Sunday River!

Aspen has had well over 40 inches of new snow in the past three weeks!!!

Hope this helps you!

It does look like BC/Alberta is having a raw deal this year. However, the Banff area can get a lot of snow late season. I remember skiing 21 cm of fresh powder at Sunshine on May 21st 2007. Keep an eye on the forecast, there is plenty of time yet.

It is cold here though...burrrr woke up to feed the horses and it was -12 but feels colder with the windchill.

Heard from my sister in law last night that it was -30 (without the windchill) in Calgary.
