BEST TIME TO COME
That depends on your luck and also what you demand out of the snow. Put briefly (and every year is different), before the middle of Dec snow can be very unreliable (on the other hand there are years when there can be already metres of snow in early Dec). Most resorts open as soon as there is enough snow. From xmas till the end of Feb is normally most reliable for powder. From March onwards the snow melt begins, but with few crowds it can be a great time to visit. Some resorts close during March but others open till early May.
