There are no certainties!
Good bet, yes. Is high, Easter is early, been most Easters for last 10 years, only 1 which was really poor

Easter is very tempting this year, Easter Monday 1st April is early, still enables me to tap into next year's holiday allowance and should be loads of snow left after this (and next!) week. I just hope there isn't a heat wave with that narrow window between morning ice and afternoon porridge. I'm thinking of Chamonix/Argentiere

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We went to Plagne 1800 on the 10th April in the year of the ash cloud.
Higher up fine. Lower down (the central villages) it was getting a bit slushy in the afternoon - still OKish to ski though)
We had a great time TBH - it was very sunny and warm and still OK. The short run down to 1800 was a complete slush field each day!!
(it was the first time I'd booked a package in years - the TO got us home by coach in 26 hours!! - I now appreciate package holidays)

We went in 2013 at Easter and stayed in 1800. On sunny days the short run down to 1800 was definitely rather slushy, but otherwise it was fine most places. As you might expect, slopes that got a lot of sun that day were heavier going in the afternoon, but the vast majority of the skiing we did was fine so long as we stayed above 1800 in the afternoons.
