Look at Ischgl, Solden or Obertauern. They all are open till May and should have a good snow. It is cheap, easy and quick transfer from Salzburg to Obertauern as well.

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

80% of the ski area in Ischgl is above 2000m so it is a very good bet for early April.

cfc5mu0, St Anton should be fine even without a glacier. Stuben could be a cheaper base, has great off piste and holds its snow longer http://www.stuben.com/index.php?id=3&L=1 Nothing really in Stuben but only 5-10 mins away from both Lech and St Anton. Agree with other posters on their recommendations too and possibly add Obergurgl. But if it's 4 lads going away I think you'd be hard pushed to better St Anton

boabski, whats the male/female ratio like in St Anton. I get the impression it is full of blokes.

Jagerbull, if a female talks to you in st anton, dont waste your time going through the motions, just get your marlboro lights out and move on..

I wasn't asking from a pulling point of view - I just think that a better male/female mix makes for a nicer atmos and there is generally less trouble in the evenings.

cfc5mu0, Lech is expensive but if snow is good is very nice. If snow is bad find a bar and watch the people, you'll never see so much fur and designer gear.

cfc5mu0, I loved my first trip to Saalbach this Jan. I would suggest Ischgl for a simliar feel with regard to the apres/nightlife.

Jagerbull, Reckon the males outnumber women 2 or possibly 3 to one. Although 1st week in April is usually ladies week. I've been to St Anton 6 times now (2 staying in Oberlech) and the male to female ratio has never been an issue, other than when I've teken my Mrs to the Mooserwirt!!! I have never experienced any trouble in my time in St Anton. It's just full of Dutch/Germans/Brits/Scandos all having good fun - best atmosphere I've experienced in a ski resort.
My mate who comes with me on the boys trip to St Anton and family trip to Oberlech is just back from his first trip to Ischgl - he preferred the apres and skiing in St Anton/Lech. Tends to go away about 6 weeks a year so I value his judgement

I always go to Obergurgl just before Easter and will be there from 22 March for 2 weeks; was there there for the same period last year and there was loads of snow and we enjoyed some great off-piste skiing. The nightlife is pretty quiet though but it suits me.
