I have a work trip coming up to Vienna in late Jan. Thinking of landing a few days ahead and getting some turns in. The only resort that I know of (thats within a reasonable train trip) is Semmering. Has anyone gone there (or somewhere else) using Vienna as the landing point?
Open to any suggestions

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

The page Boofont has linked to is a decent resource. Semmering is about the only resort you can reach in a reasonable amount of time from Vienna by train. It's a decent day out. Also from the page above, I'd say Hochkar is worthwhile, but I don't think there's a train direct.
Schladming, can be reached directly by train from Vienna, but it's a bit of a journey (4 hours).
You could try a regional bus to Mariazell (3 hours). Small resort, not very snow sure, but should be fine in late January. Pretty town and the gondola starts directly in the town centre.
Thanks all for the responses - very much appreciated! As I will be travelling by train and no hire car, looks like it will be Stuhleck.
Has anyone stayed there? It looks pretty sparse on the ammenities front: just 1 or 2 supermarkets, and the same number of restaurants. That said - I am there for the skiing for just 2 days.
Last question, the dates that I will be there are 18 - 20th Jan...I am praying that doesn't clash with any school holidays. From what I read Stuhleck can get VERY crowded on the average weekend as it is
