Righto, i'm off to Grindelwald in two weeks, can't wait! Was looking at booking another week later in the season. Was looking atlate april/early may. Only problem is, is it worth it at this time? I.e, so late in the season? Anybody go/been around that time??

Traditionally the ski season ends after the first or second week of April.

I'm out twice more this year; I was suprised in the Alps though this year, there doesn't seem to be as much snow as there was this time last year - regardless of the cold snap. I don't think it will be as long a season as the last two years - I'll get a photo to proove what I mean.

The 2009 photo is at the start of February last year, the 2010 is from the Start of January. so 4 weeks later in the year but they hadn't had fresh snow for 2 weeks when we arrived last year. This is exactly the same info board
