Poster: A snowHead

Looks like our trip to Banff will be on April 9th for 8 days.
Anyone been to the area that late in the season? What were snow conditions like?
Time to start getting excited

I've been there several times over my birthday, 7th April. The conditions have always been good, sometimes excellent. The ski out at Sunshine may be shut for some of the time (rare), Norquay may be shut, LL lower frontside may be a bit soft (quite likely). Elsewhere the conditions will be pretty good, at worst, judging by my experience. You may have a foot of fresh powder every morning; snowstorms are common enough at that time. The temps may be pretty high, or there again, pretty low (obviously not the bone chilling cold of Jan/Feb).
If conditions at Norquay are at all decent, don't overlook it. It has some very good skiing for all levels.

That's about it, but you'll find plenty of good snow.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

This year we had the biggest dump of the season at Sunshine on the 8th May! I would certainly expect good conditions first couple of weeks in April.
