Hi Prent
April skiing is always a risk as it's very late in the season, however still very good coverage and 90% open. There's up to two metres of snow, so whilst if there is some rain the conditions might not be great to ski in, there would still be snow and the mountain would normally still be open. That being said, the forecast is very changeable so don't rely on the forecast and keep checking back.
If you rent skis in advance you get 25% discount. You can cancel before you collect and there is a 15% cancellation fee. After you collect then there isn't a refund if you don't use it, but if the mountain was closed then you would usually be able to claim on your travel insurance.
For lift passes, the cancellation fee depends on the type of pass and how far in advance you cancel, and if it's at least 48 hours in advance then it's just the 15% cancellation fee. Once collected there isn't a refund of days you don't use it, but if the mountain is closed a day then you can use your lift pass to claim a free day next winter. Again you would usually claim on your travel insurance.
