Ski and Hike in April in Romania

Today I answered someone a question about the possibility to ski in Braşov, Romania, in April.
Here is the answer:
Hi,
As for the first part you already got a lot of helpful sites, I'd try to add my 2 cents for the ski and weather information. So , April is still a cold month in Braşov, so be prepared as for a winter hike: cap, warm clothes, good coat and, very important, good, waterproof mountain boots.

Ski might be possible, but is not sure, so I would not bet on the possibility of skiing in April. Two years ago I've done some mountain-biking in the area in April, during the Easter Holidays. Snow was still there in the forest (those making our mountain-biking an adventure) but on the ski slope it was already melt down (almost all of it). However I remember 10 years ago I've done skiing in Predeal (near Braşov) on the 30th of April. But this was an exceptional year, it usually don't happen like this.

Hope this helps ! If you fell like I could further help, don't hesitate to ask !
All best
