January and February are the best months for winter sports, because the snow cover can even reach down in the valleys. In general, although it varies from year to year, snow cover is very good at altitudes of 1500 m and above, where many of the winter sports resorts are located. Starting in March and April, you may have to go higher to find good snow coverage.
