Halp! Trying to throw together a last minute euroland trip from March 25 to April 5 and possibly beyond for myself and the gf. Strong skiers with touring experience and interest. Comfortable assessing avalanche hazard and moving through relatively sporty terrain, but would prefer to avoid glaciers to minimize complexity. Would be first time for me in skiing in Europe so my head is spinning a bit.
Looks like there's another round of snow on deck prior to arrival and continuing after. S Alps this wknd and maybe a more favorable for the N Alps pattern late next? How would you play it?
Innsbruck area jumps out since we have some possible hookups on lodging and a car and it seems approachable, but seems like the N alps have been missing the snow lately. Switz is likely out of my price range but Andermatt is intriguing due to everything I've read here. Ideal would be alpine tours on decent to good snow, but it seems like a generally stormy pattern might limit those opportunities so trying to consider areas with low vis options. Barages/La Mongie looks (rods favorite) looks like it's in the flow just before we'd arrive. Italy sounds amazing if a refresh followed by vis shapes up.
