Yes....it can be great.....but I'd check current reports and make a decision...I believe the snow is OK right now...
should be beautiful spring weather...just depends on new snow!

Expect spring conditions lower down, best snow high up and north-facing and be pleasantly surprised if you get a storm pass through with some fresh powder!

I was there 2 years ago first week in April, no sign of spring conditions, it snowed a lot, was cold, bluebird days were fab.
Going back on 4 April this year, hoping for a rerun (but with fewer whiteouts).
Must also remember to take wallet when skiiing, the oh sorry I can't pay for my lunch moment was a tad embarassing and involved skiing the Sella Ronda again to pay the next day.

Yes, 2 years ago April was great, then they closed the resort with superb conditions still.

Considering Selva for end of March. Is it going to be a risk with regards to snow conditions? Have been once before, but in January and then perfect conditions. Should I rather consider other places in Europe for late March skiing? Any advice much appreciated

Went to selva in 2011 and arabba last year both times late march.
I remember in 2011 the temperatures were crazy hot reps were saying it doesn't get that hot in June still the whole area was open including both directions of the sella ronda conditions were boiler plate in the morning testing in the afternoon still we had one day that was a whiteout that made for a great next day. We also took a day trip to cortina which was disappointing as few runs were open but we also done the hidden valley on the way back which was fantastic. Conditions were great on that run as it was so quiet but had to get the bus home as the horses had gone home for the summer.
Arabba last year wasn't quite as hot remember seeing 25c one day snow wasn't quite as good as the year before don't think it ever freezed at night as conditions were perfect for a couple of hours in the morning again one day was a whiteout that refreshed the slopes a treat. Again the hidden valley was amazing a real one of those things you have to do before your 100 and this time the horses were there.
The snow on the glacier was perfect both years but its a right bitch to get to you, think your almost on it and it looks so close and expect a short chair to the top only to find that the chair doesn't exist and you have to ski down very low to the start of a triple gondola. Which because the gondola starts so low the conditions to it are the worst in the resort and coupled with the limited skiing on the marmolada its something you might only do once.
