j2ski actually has a function which tells you where is reachable. On a serious note a ot depends on when you are driving getting south of Munich high season saturdays can add hours to a short journey.

Hawko, I suspect there are an awful lot - do you have any particular criteria?

Depends on time of day and day of week. Either half the alps, or Oberaudorf.

With Andy - can take 4 hours to nearest main resort ski welt/Garmish in change over traffic or on a perfect weekend or can easily make it down to Italy or resorts in Western Switzerland in 5 hours on clear roads.

Hawko, Go west young man! As the others have said, heading east or south from Munich on certain changeover days can be a nightmare. I've taken 3 hours just to get home from work on a couple of occasions when the A8 was blocked&/or closed due to an accident or an incident!
The A96 is rarely "jam packed" in the same way as the A8/A93 on changeover days, the jams only arise once you cross into Austria at the Pfander Tunnel by Bregenz!
Five hours can get me easily into France and the Jura for example

This, this is also how I job hunted 
Obviously the main road south from Munich can be jam packed but unless you need to travel on a saturday morning you will have a lot of options within 5 hrs of Munich, you can get a bus to Zurich in 3.5hrs.

I'm sure we easily do Ski Amade from Munich in < 5 hours albeit on busy roads.

How long have you got? Which bit of Munich? From the airport Garmish is about 1.5 hours, another 1.5 gets you to the Ötztal, and from there you have a zillion places to go. Avoiding Austrian tolls and respecting all speed limits.
Ok, I've never driven there when kiddies have their holidays or at otherwise busy times, but the OP didn't specify those. Last Friday Munich's rush hour was almost none existent, at least I drive south through it with no delays.

Why drive. I trained from Munich to Mayrhofen (2.5 hours) and just checked Munich to Otztal is 3.5. I assume That also makes St Anton well under 4 hours and you can sit and have a nice cold beer on the train. As others have said, driving is a random experience. We have managed to make Mayrhofen in under 2 hours on a Saturday 5 times out of 9, with a couple of 7 hours and 2 3 and bits. Have to say coming back on a Wednesday we normally manage 2 hours give or take 15 mins but not always.

You know it makes sense.

Ghost Dog,
Munich to St Anton was about 4 hours the last time I looked.

I think musher was referring to the time taken by train, which was just short of 4hrs when I did it just over a month ago, as opposed to by car.
Car is rather hit and miss, last time I drove between the two it took me around the 2hr30 mark, the first time was over 4hrs, would've missed check in had the driver not used his blues n twos to get through the traffic.

Steilhang, Sitter,
Yes I meant the train. I don't like driving when on holiday. Too many other things to be done

FAQ
I was one of just 3 or 4 people working in my company, but at least I was working from home. You were just lucky.
There are a lot of speed limits along the A95 and some very happy police if you break them.
