Arosa is perfect for late-season skiing or snowboarding. I have just been there (mid-April) and there was fresh snow every day, and clear skies most days.
There is a great variety of runs, with plenty of beginner slopes on the Weisshorn Mittelstation and plenty of interlinking red and black runs, with accessable off-piste on the Hörnli. (In fact, the only resort which I have been to which is better is Kitzbühel, which has some fantastic off-piste, but the snow is practically gone by this time of year.)
There is a regular and free bus service linking Arosa and Inner Arosa (which takes about 5 minutes).
Good bars in Arosa include: Casino bar, Los, Sitting Bull, Laetitia's is good for apres ski (but see below).
Good restaurants: Orchidee Palast (Chinese), Restaurant Derby (Swiss).
Avoid Laetitia's Mexican restaurant at all costs. The manageress is incredibly rude and offensive.
We stayed in the Hotel Touring, which was reasonably priced (CHF 80 for a single room with breakfast, CHF 130 for a double).
Ski passes are just under £20 per day.
Ski and snowboard hire seemed quite expensive though.
Summary: brilliant for late-season snowboarding. I will definately be going back next April!
