andybabes, Soll is relatively low but has a great base this season. I was there in January when I missed pretty much 3 days due to too much snow..... Things look set to get colder this week with some fresh snow forecast. Superb area and you'll have a great time if you accept worst case you'll have spring condtions with hard to icy pistes in the morning and slushy snow later in the day.
I've been in similar altitude resorts well into April and had some great skiing.

andybabes, Söll, Scheffau and Ellmau all face north. Brixen is more south facing. More snow is forecast early next week, the forecast today was saying down to 400m ASL but I doubt that some how, more likely to be about 700m or so.
Start early and ski hard all morning. Have a late lunch and a leisurely ski to the gondola at around 3pm and download. The home runs to the valley in the Ski Welt can be murderous at any time of year!

We went early March one year and it was terrible, slush or boilerplate, nothing inbetween,but I can only imagine that this year is a hell of a lot better if it is anything like the low resorts in France.

All those cams are a bit higher up. This one is looking across the valley at Ellmau, only a few miles from Soll http://98.panomax.at/ about 700m. When we were in Ellmau at New Year a couple of years back this was mostly green, although typically it started hurling it down as we packed up on our last day skiing, and was about a foot deep when we left the following day.
