What areas will still have good skiing in the first 2 weeks of April? We'll be spending a few days in Garmisch (Bavarian Alps) with family, but I think the season will pretty much be over by then. So where should we go after? I'm thinking Switzerland or France but I'm not familiar with any the areas there (first trip to Europe!). Any suggestions?

Difficult to say where to ski in april in switzerland .... because we do not know today how much snow will be left in April.
I suggest some resort in higher altitudes like St. Moritz, Zermatt ...
but with plenty of snow any resort can be fun!
I would second Zermatt; we were there early April a few years back, and it was lovely. There is glacier, so you can ski there year round, even if the other snow is gone. But I understand that Zermatt is a good place to go later, regardless. (Sort of like coming to Colorado in April, it's almost always best in April, when they start closing everything. But the high altitude keeps the snow.)
I just love Zermatt. I lived in Germany and went there summer and winter. I always stayed in a little inn called Hotel Matterhornblick. It was clean and comfortable and not too expensive. Great view of the Matterhorn. I haven't been there for years though, so do your own research.
When you go, be sure to try Raclette. Melted cheese, potatoes, YUM!
I have lots of good memories from Zermatt.
