I'm looking at spending a little time in Germany in late April of this year. I've been skiing before in Austria in early April 2005, and there was still snow at some of the higher elevation ski resorts (If I recall, I went to Kaprun), and the conditions were still pretty good.

Have winter conditions this year been good to the ski areas so that I might get lucky finding some good snow still on the ground in the 3rd week of April or so? I thought I heard late last year that the Alps were getting excellent snow; was that the case?
