We are 4 people, flying into Munich next week and I'm looking for a resort for us all and I'm not sure which would would be perfect, I'd like your advice and suggestions on which resort you'd suggest to go to:
3 of us are ski / snowboard ok intermediate level. Can handle most pistes, prefer blue / red, like going down at a good pace.
Myself I'm a good boarder, I'm looking for park and ideally pipe (not pro but can handle nicely).
I'm looking for a resort the park isn't disconnected from the pistes, so we can all meet during the day and ski together.
1) Saalbach - seems like a cool option, we have friends there and a great park I understand. My main concern is their 40 - 80 cm snow. Is that really enough? Would that hold? are they accurate? Would appreciate any feedback.
2) Solden - looks like a good option, but has 20 cm at the bottom.
3) Kiztbuhel, heard that it's good, not sure about the current conditions will they hold?
4) Laax - killer place, been there last year, thinking of trying something new.
Any other suggestions for good resorts?
Any opinions?

Ischgl ticks all your boxes and has great terrain parks possibly the best in Austria.
It also has some outrageous nightlife, think Coyote Ugly.

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

Saalbach sounds a very good fit for your description (intermediates looking for lots of blues and reds). Why don't you drop by the dedicated thread to ask the locals what conditions are like right now?
The Saalbach thread is extremely helpful as @mad for chelsea, states. I'm just back from there and it's a great place for sure.
The other option for your group might be Mayrhofen. There's a superb boarder park on the Penken and plenty for your intermediate mates to cruise round. Although the village is low (but with some excellent après), the slopes are reasonably high and you have always got the Hintertux glacier 20 minutes up the road if conditions really do take a turn for the worse.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@doryz, There is plenty of good snow in Saalbach-Hinterglemm at the moment - all the main pistes are open as well as the links to Leogang, where the big park is, and Fieberbrunn. There is also a floodlit park in Hinterglemm.
Above 1400m/mid-station level, where 90% of the skiing is, the snow is good pretty much all day. The lower slopes back into the village are slushy from midday onwards. Not so good for skiers but no problem on a board.
