There is a U-bahn station at Munich airport, and the train to Zell is a fairly painless affair. The station printed me out an itinery when I bought my ticket and all ran smoothly. From Zell you can change on to a bus to Saalbach or Kaprun.
I know that there are a few airport transfer companies, but I guess from Munich they will be quite pricey.

thanks for all your help.
it might be easier and cheaper just to jump the train and head for Garmisch, particularly as its only for 3 days skiing.

We'll you've probably guessed I'm from a country with no integrated public transport system. Keep forgetting about the excellent public transport system over there.. Here, you either drive or have someone drive you. No public transport..
Ignore my first post, I'm a dope.

That's not entirely true. Greyhound (or other private bus company like it) goes almost everywhere, though usually rather infrequent and slow.
It's "public" transport alright. Just the average "public" don't seem to want to use it EVEN WHEN ITS USABLE. (I'm guilty of that myself)

You might also consider getting the train down to Oberstdorf to ski Oberstdorf/Kleinwalsertal. It's a bigger ski area than Garmisch, spanning Austria and Germany up on the Felhorn/Kanzelwand. There are direct trains every two hours from Munich central station, other connections with one change every hour. Nice place. Try it

dingdong, Trains: take the S1 or the S8 from Munich Airport to the Haptbahnhof. Then either take a train to Salzburg and change to the Zell train, or go straight through to Schwarzach im Pongau and change there. The last time I caught the train from Munich to Bad Gastein last winter I think it was about 40 to 50 Euro per person one way. Look at www.oebb.at/en/ and www.bahn.de/ for more info.
I'd look into taxi transfers. I know they do transfers from Bad Gastein to Munich airport and if there's a group of you, it's definately worth it. Have a look on the Zell tourist website and see what's on offer.
Cheers

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Kersh, Thanks... We're heading over next Thursday, providing the Aer Lingus strike doesn't go ahead! We have a couple of places to visit so I rented a car for 150 euros, which is not bad... I would definitely take the train under normal circumstances though. Hoping to get a couple of days in skiing as well, fingers crossed the temps stay down..
