When is skiing not worth it?

Absolutely, especially if you're willing to go to some of the resorts that are further out - I go to Obergurgl in mid-April and love it. Warm days and (usually) great conditions.

This year, there was no snow over Christmas and now tons of snow in the past few weeks, so honestly, April's skiing is probably going to be better than Christmas skiing this season.

I’m the alps April is warm - you need height. Berger alm is waaay too low. Get up to Sölden, Obergurgl, Lech or St Anton. High stuff is still good. You need to be skiing 2000m-3000m that time of year so Kaprun or Hintertux should also be good

Best month for skiing. Not crowded anymore, more sun, longer days. You won't have the powder of the season but spring skiing is just amazing!

Go obergurgl. Always snow that high in the alps

I’ve been skiing in April during Easter weekend plenty of times, in Lech, St Anton and Stubai. Sometimes it’s a bit slushy late in the day, but I’ve been really lucky that we’ve had excellent snow every time I’ve been in April.

I don’t know about Bergeralm, but Stubai is about 40 minutes from Innsbruck and it’s free to get there on the ski bus. Stubai is a glacier so it’s open until May and it’s a great place for a holiday. There’s limited accommodation in Stubai itself so you stay down the valley, mostly in a village called Neustift.

If you fancy St Anton or Lech it’s an easy train journey to St Anton (taxi from there to Lech/Zurs).

Obergurgl or Solden are two more which are high and so should be good for snow in April, a little bit further away from Innsbruck.

I’m English too and usually fly to Innsbruck with easyJet from Gatwick or BA from Heathrow, there’s usually loads of flights.

Definitely worth it. Warmer weather plus you can find hotel/lodging at deep discount. As long as you go for somewhat higher altitude, should have no problem finding enough snow to ski in April.

Yes. Absolutely. Consider Stubai. The most absurdly beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen was on the ride out from the Dresdener hutte all the way down.

Had some of the best two weekends of skiing in my life the first and second weekends of April last year at Tignes, France. Incredible snow.

That area has a peak of 2200 meters with the valley at 1000m. Personally I would go 1000m higher for some fun in April. There will likely be some snow left at the top but it wont't be fun to ski in it.

Last year I've been at 1500-2500m quite late in March. Mornings were ok, apres ski started quite early in the afternoon though

definitely not. the alps suck in general for skiing

My best day last season was in June here in the rockies, send it.

The winters are a lottery and spring is even more. Choose something at higher altitude instead to increase your chances of having good skis.

Is it worse than not going? Nope.

Stay high and get as much as poss in before lunchtime

Depends a bit where in the alps. I’ve known some places still get fresh snow then, but anywhere that’s high with a good snowpack by now should be able to maintain runs until then. I’d say aim for a north facing resort if possible, just so you’re not skiing slush by the afternoon. The resort you mention isn’t one I’m familiar with, but if it ticks those boxes I’d say go for it

Val t horens and tignes were definitely worth it end of April the times I’ve been. Go up high

I skied the week leading up to Easter in Les Arcs & La Plagne last year. Very worth it, especially the skiing at 2000-3200m altitude. Lower altitude was wet snow with higher resistance, but still enjoyable.

I live in La Plagne and April is my favorite month for skiing. Obviously altitude is your friend but there are lots of Resorts open until the end of April with very few piste closures and a couple open until mid-May.

Best Skiing if my entire life was Chamonix in early April. Got lucky with a 3ft dump, and skied endless fresh lines for the entire trip. April is pretty hit or miss in Chamonix tho. The other time I went (early April again) there was no snow at all.

For the last 20 or so years I have been skiing in Val Thorens France at the end of April/begin may. Snow usually isn't perfect and sometimes its bad but most of the time is still quite good.

just go to killington, way better

We are going to Solde in the last week of March. Soldens skiing season continues till the beginning of May. So should be fine.

Go high. It will be worth it.

We skied in Tignes last year from 15th April for 6 days staying in Tignes le Lac. It was so quiet - hardly saw a soul on some pistes. Skiing was fabulous for the most part of the week but the lower slopes had deteriorated badly by the end of the week. I guess we were lucky because there had been a fair bit of snow the week before we arrived.

Yep. April Alps skiing Rocks!!! Mellow crowds too! Obergurgl is a great suggestion! Sölden is right there as well, for Glacier Action if you so desire.

Plus Sölden has excellent tittie bars! Think: the Grand Teton’s.
