What makes you think he was joking? You can even ski 24 hours a day if
you want to ....

Seriously, no one knows what conditions will be like next week given
current wild fluctuations, so the best you can do is head for the
highest of the standard European resorts... in France Tignes, Arcs 2000,
Courchevel etc, in Austria I've had great mid-April skiing on the
Pitztal glacier....

I had allways good condition at Engelberg. Also at Flumserberg(max
2200m high).
Saas Fee and Zermatt is shure ok. Ther are a fistfull other resorts
open: Andermatt, Davos, Laax, St.Moritz, Verbier, Les Diablerets all
high enaugh, that you find a Slope with good conditions.

Wait as long as possible before deciding where (or even if) to go. Even
Scotland could be good then! You might even pick up a bargain last-minute
deal.

That's what I intend to do.

What are the crowds like the week containing Good Friday?

Sound advice I'd say. Skiing in April is often fantastic(in fact I've
never had poor snow in early April) but if at all possible I'd wait. You
may want/need to book flights sooner, but there's no need to book
accomodation until just before you go.

Not too bad in my experience. If you are flexible you'll have no trouble
finding accomodation. A little busier than the weekends before perhaps
but nothing like Xmas/New Year or February.
