Neither, the photo was taken with a DSLR using a 40-150mm zoom lens.

Maybe Westendorf then, looking over to Soll or something? With a zoom like that you could be stood in Italy for all I can tell

Not nearly as far as Italy but also not in the Ski Welt. Anyone whom knows the resort in the middle ground will recognise the piste although the picture is 10 years old now. They will also recognise the terraced quarrying behind it. Once you've got those there's really only one resort it could be taken from?

Correct, but can you name the mountain with the piste in the middle?

Hmm -- not sure -- PrundelKopf ?

TBF it does look like Fieberbrunn whicih is now part of the Saalbach-Hinterglemm SkiCircus, with the piste in the middle being either Bernkogel or possibly the back of Schatberg (Limberg?)

@Bodeswell, Well seeing as some folks on here seem to be able to recognise and name every tree in effin Fraaaaance dahling I thought I might challenge those who prefer their sliding elsewhere?
@albob, Spot on.
@nbt, TBF you can see the Reckmoos pistes in Fieberbrunn to the left of the quarry terracing, so well spotted.

Can't argue with that!
Is that range in the background the Wilder Kaiser? Incredible photo if it is.

Yes it is indeed. Was quite pleased with it at the time. Was taken January 2010 and there's been a few changes to the Bernkogel Piste in that time as well as part of the connection to Fieberbrunn from the reverse side of the same.

@robboj, superb, I thought so but wouldn’t have guessed in a million years you took it from Zell!
|

Its a great photo and the Wilder Kaiser are majestic. I've been to Zell but didn't realise that you could see Saalbach from it.
|
|
|
|
|

@robboj, I’m very surprised that you were able to get that view from the Schmittenhohe. I would have expected a view of the Wildenkarkogel and Schönleiten area, rather than the Bernkogel (which is a few miles up the valley). Next time I go over to Zell, I’ll see if I can replicate it.

@albob, "what are the odds"

@Bodeswell, @Corky, Thank you, all down to the zoom lens.
@tatmanstours, definitely is taken from the western side of the top of the Schmittenhöhe. Checked the photo info and it was taken at 14.45 on 20th January 2010 on full zoom. You can see it clearly looking from Saalbach, I recall pointing it out to my crew as we sat at the Luis Alm on the Bernkogel this year.
Here's the immediately preceding photo with much less zoom and the Kapellenbahn chair at Zell in the picture.

That's fantastic, nearly as entertaining as the comments in that link using the photo as proof that the earth is flat! Atmospheric refraction is amazing, on a good day you can see the Canigou from Marseille.

@robboj, Wow! However is the mountain range in the background the Wilder Kaiser or the Kitzbueheler Alpen?

The higher, craggy and partially snowless range in the very background is the Wilder Kaiser. The Kitzbüheler Alpen are mainly to the South of the town itself toward Paß Thurn and the OberPinzgau, spreading to the West and to the East as far as the Schmittenhöhe. So the photo itself is taken from the Kitzbüheler Alpen.
The snow covered ones closer to the left could be those to the NNE of Kitzbühel such as the Horn but could also be the the peaks between Fieberbrunn and Aurach. You would need to check the heights to be sure?

Where ever it is it has a resort webcam on the roof which could help a bit.
