What area in Austria has the most advanced skiing. 4 of us are going and we are all expert level and ski almost exclusively off Piste. Been to St Anton, Lech area. Looking for another area to try.
Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Depends if you want to access off the lift, or are prepared to earn your turns?
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Saalbach-Hinterglemm + Fieberbrunn have some excellent off piste if you know where to go
As does Kitzbühel/Pass Thurn, Ischgl/Samnaun, Serfaus/Fiss/Ladis, the Nordkette above Innsbruck...
too many to mention. I would pick a place and hire a guide if I were you
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Did you hire a guide when you were in St Anton? If not then you most likely have not seen the best St Anton has to offer.
Once drove over to meet friends in Saalbach Hinterglemm. A few in the group skied offpiste so we hired a ski-instructor to show us the offpiste (couldn't find any guides at the time) but what he was allowed to show us was very limited.
Probably best to go for somewhere where you can hire a proper guide e.g.
St.Anton-Lech aka SkiArlberg is Austria’s best for advanced & off piste skiing.
No other area comes near, not even Ischgl
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Check out the Montafon.
Lots of variety.
So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

Another vote for Saalbach area. They have a vast amount of offpiste easy reached from the lifts. They also have/had a free ride event in Fiberbrunn and specific free ride terrain. Best bit is that not as many people hitting the offpiste as bigger more well known offpiste destinations as most Saalbach skiers are intermediate piste skiers. Also large resort for cruising when there is no powder
You know it makes sense.

Take a look at some of Richard Bergenholtz’s videos on YouTube. Richard and his Swedish friends run the Underbar in Saalbach, a very lively Scandinavian bar. They spend their evenings serving drinks and their days skiing the off-piste - and filming it.
Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

Fieberbrunn, Arlberg, Ischgl/Galtur, Silvretta Montafon, Serfaus fiss, but really you can find really good/tough skiing in any of these or other areas if you are prepared to look for it, and 'earn your turns'.
