Poster: A snowHead
|
We're off to Ischgl for a week in early April; currently deciding whether to choose the safer option - starting 4th April - or the significantly cheaper (accomodation & lift pass) week starting 11th April.
Anyone with knowledge of conditions in Ischgl in April care to comment?

earlier the better I would think if you had the option, last/late week in the season is best booked at the time when you can look at the web cams. Did the last week of the season in St Anton and the snow had melted down to the village (1350m), slushy and cut up by 11.00 am at 2,000 meters but good fun and plenty of skiing to be had

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

I stayed there in last week of March, basically you get "spring conditions": firm snow in the morning, slushy by mid day. It was possible to ski all the way down to the village.

I have been to Ischgl the last weekend of the season in 2007 & 2008, that being the end of April beginning of May. 2007 you could ski down to mid station, last year you could ski all way down to resort although getting very patchy. Most of the area had excellent snow coverage at that time of year, so unless it is a bad year I don't think there will be much difference between the two weeks i'd go for the cheapest. Only 18 days to go before my first trip of the season to Ischgl.(opening weekend) .

March and April are always the best snow conditions here in Tirol, I was skiing great powder in May this year, the year before on the Stubai Glacier it was a June powder day. The sun is stronger and on clear days the snow is sure to soften but my last 8 years here have been the best late in the season.
