Hi kirkfell, welcome to snowHeads!
I was out in Lauterbrunnen that same time last year. I can't tell you what the snow will be like... it could be great, or it could be terrible. I had a mixed week, the first half was cloudy and everything was open and skiiable, but then by the end of the week, the sun was out, it was hitting 20 in Lauterbrunnen and everything was getting slushy! If it is a warm week, I suggest you head up to Birg, the Murren side of the valley and do the runs there, as that's the highest area.
If warm weather isn't a problem, the whole region has great skiing for anyone, really... maybe slightly lacking in blue runs for people who like shallow slopes.
When you say intermediate, what sort of runs do you like? I'm guessing reds, but do you prefer steep and like to get a bit of pace up, or do you prefer to take it easy? Also, how about black? My personal favourite is the Lauberhorn World Cup run, but I then I like to go fast. If you can answer those, I can maybe suggest some runs. There are quite a few guys here who know the region well so I'm sure they'll be along soon!

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

kirkfell, welcome to Snowheads !!
Normally all the lifts in murren would be open and I suggest the lower ski areas in the morning (Winteregg and Schiltgrat) and later on sticking to Birg.

Last season the whole area was fine until the middle of April. Suggest Mannlichen - round to Scheidegg and down to Wengen for a nice day out. Murren good too but you won't want to do it every day.
My photo-blog from March - April 2009. Of course it could be totally different this year.
