Easter is late this year but not too late to squeeze in a last-minute ski holiday! The Alps have been blessed with several big late-season snowfalls already and many ski resorts are still going strong, with lots of snow. What's more, it's now officially spring skiing conditions, with lots of sunshine and low prices to boot! But that doesn't necessarily mean the snow cover is absolutely guaranteed at every single ski resort in the Alps. To avoid a nasty surprise, try booking your ski holiday at a high-altitude ski resort with reliable snow cover, like one of the ones below!
