Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

If you saw my post below I was considering Trysil at the end of April but now I’m worried the snow might not be great. Is cervinia snow sure then? I’ve looked into it before and not gone because of the risk of them closing the lifts - is that very likely end of April? We are only going for a few days so need them open as we have no time to waste!
Thanks

Looks like 1st May for closing main ski area of Cervinia as far as I can see.
18th April further down the valley (connected village) obviously at lower altitude.
No experience of being there late season, but certainly looks a reasonable bet for you.
I like it there too, great place to visit. Surely worthy of consideration as altitude and sunny plateau makes for nice combination.
Any weather projections though, yours is as good a guess as anyone in reality. But that's going to be the same in all places you'd consider. I think you've a better than evens chance.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

You will be guaranteed some skiing at that time as the glacier is open for skiing in the summer months. The likelihood of much of the resort level slopes being open is more hit and miss this season compared to normal, the warm temps have played havoc with south facing resorts and the snow base is poor this season. That said, Cervinia is always up there on the places for Skiing in April.
Could I make a suggestion though. Late April is going to be seriously quiet almost anywhere, you’re not going to have issues with availability etc. So why not just earmark the time off for the trip, have a shortlist of resorts you might like to go, and then just pick whichever one has the best snow a few days before?

I think that might be the best idea! I did want to book now so flights wouldn’t be too expensive, but maybe not worth the risk!
