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

I've looked at Ischgl HoneyBunny, It's definitely on the list

Obergurgl. Easily. Most of the other resorts are too low, too rowdy for what you want (Ischgl) or too inconvenient for family skiing ( Stubai, Tux)

Stubai glacier....its the largest skiable glacier in the world i think

Zillertal, stay in Mayrhofen. The Hintertux glacier is as snowsure as is possible. It is also the steepest glacier in Europe (so they say.) Solden is also a very good bet.

Like clarky999 says when in April is the key. As temperatures are picking up it can make a real difference whether you are going at the start or the end. I'd certainly have Iscghl on the list, I'd add Obertauern too which is good for families.

tealeski, Ischgl or St Anton. Any rowdiness (which is exaggerated) can easily be avoided
Serfaus / Fiss would be another more 'family friendly' option in the same high, snowsure area, but a smattering of German would help there

Another vote for Mayrhofen, with the whole area pass including the glacier. Been there a few times, once in April, the snow was ample, sometimes slightly slushy lower down. It reached 21 degrees on a couple of days so I skied in my T-Shirt.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Ischgl, although reputed to be rowdy, is very family friendly. Rowdiness can be avoided, and to be fair, people are not obffensive. And it is so snow sure

You know it makes sense.

Another vote for Obergurgl/Hochgurgl. I've been to Obergurgl twice and really enjoyed it both times. Most accommodation pretty much ski in/out (we used the excellent Hotel Jenewein both times and it's right next to the main chair and gondola). Plenty enough variety to keep you amused for the week and some lovely mountain restaurants.

never got the whole Ischgl is rowdy thing... I was there for a week in Feb this year, and it was not that bad. As long as you stay out of certain bars, then its all good.
