Look at it nearer the time! You may not have snow there in April. Was there in January this year and had fantastic conditions, was there in January a few years ago and had to go to Val Thorens to get some decent snow!! It is a great place but vulnerable to conditions, despite the huge area.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

MJS, it's traditionally one of the first places to get a big thaw. Might be very sweaty and slushy by then. But then again might be great. My bet is on the former.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Was there in the last week of march in about 2003. Had to get a chairlift down everday at the end - everything below the top of the first level of lifts was slush & mud on the sauze side, sestriere was a bit better, but could only link by gondy, though there was some nice skiing to be had on the next valley over from sauze (sansicario?). The town itself was also pretty quiet then.
Snow was as good as kitz was in February 2007, though (terrible year), and the mud was less depressing as it was sunnier!
Still got a good weeks sliding about in, and there's some decent bars, but i'd be VERY wary of April.

Went there Easter 2000 and snow was ok from midstation up but gone at village level.... like Cunners, we had to get the chair down to the village BUT resort and slopes were deserted... great weeks skiing from about 8.45am til 2pm then very slushy... got a cracking tan though!
Every year is different though... depends on the snow base (which should be good this year unless it gets particularly warm in the next couple of weeks), temperatures, further fresh snow (which may well come) and traffic on the slopes (less this year due to credit crunch?????).. If the deals good I'd probably take the gamble if I was inclined to ski Sauze again...

Taken the plunge and booked it. Good deal sealed it. All in, flights, transfers, half board, lift pass, lessons, equipment for £711! Not too bad methinks. Hotel gets rave reviews on trip advisor too. Got the full milky way pass so hopefully we should get some skiing done. Lets hope for freak snow storms all march!
