Have a good look at the weather forecast before you book a last minute Easter bargain - there's a lot of rain about at resort level, across a wide swathe of the Alps from St Anton to Morzine.

pam w, ...absolutely _ WARNING it's raining everywhere in the Valais - STAY AWAY - KEEP OFF - this warning has nothing to do with the new fall of snow above 2000m and the empty pistes...it's just awful being on these wide open pistes with fresh on them....

pam w, it's the end of March!
Rain at resort levels = snow on the mountain....= a good thing!
You can keep the sunshine....I want freshies!
I have no skin in the game but some of the deals on that site for Verbier (where I am sitting) are stunning.....the mountain has top to bottom 100% coverage, in fact the whole 4V has the same.......don't put people off for goodness sake, encourage them!

Either powderwhite are in a perilous financial position or they rip people off fiercely at peak periods based on the number of complete properties they have up for grabs. Challenge for most will be to find flights and tfrs sub £400 though.

but if you can't see your hand in front of your face..... I was all set to go skiing today, and the snow is great - but the visibility was terrible. Tomorrow looks good, but it's a flash in the pan. Looks like pretty solid cloud over the Easter weekend - not excluding Verbier, and only piddling amounts of snow.
Personally I'd much prefer sunshine and spring snow, thanks, and I suspect that goes for most holiday skiers, particularly with small kids.

I'm with rungsp on this. I'd rather have overcast weather and fresh snow up the mountain. In an ideal world it would be nice to have fresh snow at village level too.
The sunshine was too much for me last Easter and the snow was too heavy/sugary. We didn't even wear our apres ski boots. If it is too sunny I retreat inside in the mountain restaurants. Also hate having to take my jacket off if the weather is sunny as I keep so many things in my pockets

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

overcast is one thing, but when you can't see one piste marker from the next, or the chair in front of you, then I personally reckon you're better off sitting in a bar!

pam w, i know many folk who'd prefer spring snow and sunshine at this point in the season...

You know it makes sense.

We are just back from staying in a Powder White chalet on a last minute deal and it was superb. It should have been £700 per head and we got it for £299.

All I know is it's a damn sight better than the last two years. Completely non tragic at the moment. Off to Les Coches Saturday.

If I could go for a week, I would! Sadly no deals just for the Easter weekend...the industry is too geared to Saturday to Saturday!!
