Skiing early April in Austria?
Discussion
Looking to book a ski trip for 8-12 to Austria. Limiting factor is that it needs to be school holidays due to teachers, and xmas and Feb half term are out so it has to be the first week of Easter. This has its obvious drawbacks and so would like some help and suggestions of places that are snowsure enough to make skiing/boarding not a problem, lively enough on the apres ski side, and probably in Austria as a change to recent trips to France and Italy.
An initial browse suggests Mayrhofen and maybe Kaprun would be decent options.
Any thoughts?
TIA

Most Austrian resorts are very low - you have to be well up the mountain on most to just reach the village height of many of the purpose-built French resorts, so temperatures can be an issue. I'd look for a glacier.
Of the non-glacier resorts we went to Obergurgl (2000m resort height IIRC) in March this year and the snow was still very good, despite much of the drive up from Salzburg being green. It's very quiet for apres ski though.
