Hiya,
I am going to Cham for 4 days from the 9th of April, anyone know when the official end of season is??
Also anyone have an incline of what the conditions might be like??? I am hoping to get lucky or at least be able to get some decent snow on the upper part of the mountain!
Obviously I won't hold any of you too it
Cheers
Jamie

You should be ok, but its the same with most resorts when you get to this time of the year.
I was in Chamonix last year from 15th to 22nd April. Boarding every day in lovely sunshine.
No fresh snow but it was still good to get a full week of boarding in.
Ended up in Grands Montets most of the time.
Le Tour closed about the 17th - it gets all the sun in the valley so you tend to be boarding through puddles at certain points.
I think for the 9th April you should be fine, but it will be typical spring snow, icy in mornings and slushing up by lunchtime.
