Try Zermatt, Hintertux and Tignes.

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

I am heading out to Austria for May BH w/end, will probably spend most time on the Stubai glacier. I think Pitztal and Kaunertal will also still be open then.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Whitegold, thanks am looking at Zermatt, it's a favourite resort of mine, there are just a few runs open in May, more open later on from what I can gather on their website.
KateF, very useful list, I was looking for something like this so thanks, picked up Engelberg as an extra option from this.
the ice perv, which BH? the beginning of May or end? I am going to look into Pitztal and the others you suggested too.
Also I've identified the Kitzsteinhorn area above Kaprun/Zell am See as being open til 1 June then again after 22 June, anyone comment on this as an option?
Also the Sunday Times Travel Mag says that Voss in Norway is open through May but I can't confirm that from the Voss website.
Thanks again

Anyone know how many kms of piste are open in these resorts in May? If the snow is there will they open more lifts or is it just the glaciers? I have been looking at Engelberg for May bank holiday but their website isn't great for info.

Hmmm - we have 2x 4-day weekends and 1x 3-day weekend in May here in germany (3 public holidays and 2 forced bridging holidays).
1st weekend is already taken, but the other two... /me frantically tries to find somewhere decent for 10-12th and 22-25th May.
(Shame those weekends aren't in March/April)

the ice perv, 2 holidays fall on a thursday this year, and Germany doesn't shift holidays to a Monday like UK. Many companies remain closed on the Friday (this year), and force employees to take a day leave (but they do give us an extra 5 days to allocate as enforced leave, although it is usually only 3-4 per year)
