I may find myself in Juneau in early April. Any hints on weather or things to do? Ski area still open?

The 'Crest is usually open until Easter so you'll be able to ski for sure. Winter returned this weekend with colder temps. Looks like fresh snow all next week.
A bit early for Hooty birds. Spring kings will be starting to show. Check out the goats out at the glacier. Go to Alaska Brewing and sample some grog. They have a new black IPA. I have yet to try it myself.

Driving rain. Always rain. Drizzle. Thick fog. Wet always. Wind always. And always around 40* F.
You will never be able to feel dry or warm unless it is in front of a heater. When you leave and get somewhere else, you'll unpack and be disgusted with how wet your clothes are.
Juneau sucks big time.
The weather isn't the worst, Juneau being a gub'mint town (literally if the gub'mint weren't there, the population would be around 1,000 people), is the most cliquish place outside of Hollyweird you could find.
You can drive out the road to some areas and grill outdoors, but beware the Troopers, they are as thick as flies on rotting meat, and they love to ticket for anything they can think up. Drive carefully.
Did I mention Juneau sucks?

Wondering what you were doing that the Troopers were as thick as flies on rotting meat? I have never had a problem with them and have always found them to be professional.
Yes it is wet and does rain a lot.
MuskegMan is pretty much spot on with things to do. Of course there is some great backcountry and sidecountry skiing and boarding to be had as well. Depending on snow could be some good hiking to be had as well. If one knows where to go there could be some steelhead to be had too.

http://www.skijuneau.com/Last April was pretty wet until the last week then summer started all of the sudden. See the glacier. Bring good wet weather gear and get outside. May-June are traditionally the best time to be here. Why would anyone care about seeing troopers? I hardly see or notice them here.

You have to wonder about the ones so worried about the Police.

I think some like to get away from crowds and cops. Not wanting to see them breathing down your neck isn't an admission of guilt. I've never had a problem with the ones I've encountered.
I don't like gangbangers even though I've never been shot by one.

I have never had any police in Juneau breathing down my neck, matter of fact the only time I have seen them breathing down anyones neck was for a damn good reason.
Comparing a gangbanger to a Police officer? You have issues.

Abide by the laws and you'll stay out of the "creek" its really that simple. Police Officers have a job to do, its not always a popular job or glamourous one. Give the Officers doing their job a little respect and you might just get a little in return. Your right I have zero experiance with law enforcement. Just remember those Police Officers serve and protect everyday with their lives on the line.

I worked for an LE agency and outside of the Sgt that raped his ex wife and was never charged or fired, the guy that pulled his carry gun while drunk and in a bar fight (he was fired), the Lt. that molested a blind girl (he was fired and sent to jail) and the guy that got into a road rage incident off duty, they were fine folks.
