Skiing/Boarding, new years, which resort in Austria??

Can anyone help me! A group of us want to head skiing/boarding for New Years to Austria. We are aware that this time of year is one of the busiest, is there such a thing as a resort that might not be as busy as the others, or a bigger resort that can accommodate for bigger crowds, more lifts etc?

We would love -

- ski in/ ski out location, or very close to lifts

- apres ski

Thanks.

Ischgl

St. Anton

Saalbach

Hi! we are looking for the same now. Which resort have you chosen? We tryed to book apartments or rooms in Ischgl, but everything is booked already (((

what do you think about saalbah - would there be enough snow around New Year??? I am afraid that it is not at hight altitude...

Another choice would be Obertauern.

dude you can never be sure about the snow unless you go to the kitsctienhorn or howevr its spelt!!?@)*%26amp;% that place is the big one and its so massive even in season with all the kids it has loads of space and if you like your off peist stuff this is the place .

i have been there in high season and you can still fly by the other people especialy if you go off the beaten track. this place has snow all year round so jan shouldnt be a prob at the top and if you are lucky and the powder is evrywher ...then.. head on to salbach which is again a good size and has plenty of runs. and as for the night life head to resi bar in peisendorf and get totaly tanked up.

where evr you go at this time of year in europe you will have crowds but with these places at the top not evryone goes up there so you should get a bit of space . as for resorts you have zelemsee and kuprun which are both pretty good size and good for bevvies

Kitzbühel has been a good selection the past couple of years. If it snows everywhere is good. But at least if you are in Kitzbühel you can grab a bus to several other areas if you wish.
