pablito69, maybe try Zillertal. If you hit it right you can get direct from Munchen Ost to Jenbach in 1:20. Then the local train up to Zell am Ziller, Kaltenbach etc

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

pablito69, The Zillertal resorts (Kaltenbach/HochFügen, Zell am Ziller, Mayrhofen) are very easy to get to by train from Munich - just change at Jenbach onto the Zillertalbahn narrow gauge railway which runs up the valley from Jenbach all the way to Mayrhofen. (Incidentally, travel on the Zillertalbahn and the valley ski busses is included in the Zillertal SuperskiPass).
Mayrhofen is the largest and best known of the resorts, but the other areas I mentioned (Zell am Ziller with its Zillertal Arena ski area and Kaltenbach/Hochfugen with its HochZillertal ski area) are well worth consideration as well.

I see Bode Swiller beat me to it with the recommendation for the Zillertal. 
If you decide to stay in Mayrhofen I can recommend the Garni Obermair B&B - they do an excellent buffet breakfast, and the hotel has a small indoor pool. There are plenty of different places to eat out in the evening. The Garni Obermair is near to the Mayrhofen Zillertalbahn station which is convenient when you arrive in /leave the resort or if you have day trips to ski at Zell and Kaltenbach (recommended).
If you stay in Zell in the town centre you have to catch a frequent ski bus to the skilifts which are about a mile away.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We took the train to St Anton a couple of years ago , it will probably take about the same time as the trip to Mayrhofen.
In Mayrhofen, Garni Obermair B&B is ok, handy for the train station, but has got to be close to the bottom of my list of places to stay for convenience for everything else.

pablito69, You have chosen Fasching Week by the way. Worth getting something booked.

Worth also looking at 4 seasons for a transfer. I was looking the other day, 4 people Munich to Mayrhofen return 74 euros each. Same price as the train, but will probably get you to resort a bit quicker. www.tirol-taxi.at

For convenience it's hard to beat Haus Monica in Mayrhofen, a stumble from the Penkenbahn. Comfortable rooms with big baths, B & B is about £45 a night.
The Hotel Perauer is another favourite of ours, half board can be about £65 peak dates a bit more.
Finally, the Landenhof is nice too.

pablito69, very handy for the train station and buses and a nice freshening walk home at the end of a tiring evening. At least it won't be noisy (apart from the thundering river of course)

I stayed there a few years back on a last minute summer "lakes and mountains" deal for a Tux week, nice enough but don't think we had en-suit but did have the floor to ourselves.

FAQ
Put the dutch, Danish and other Scandinavians in the mix and you are looking at some lovely traffic jams where they all converge around Munich as well as along the A8 Munich to Rosenheim and then the A93 Rosenheim to Kufstein (it does get a wee bit better after Kufstein as the tightwads all exit there to avoid buying a vignette.
