Top apres-ski resorts in Austria are generally considered to be St Anton & Ischgl - they're also amongst the earlier openers, Ischgl on 1st Dec 2007 & St A on 8th Dec. Have not yet been to Ischgl, but St A was a blast! I don't know which would be better for boarders - hopefully someone else will be along soon. Good hunting!

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

shaggyofdonny, Mayrhofen seems to be "snowboarding central" these days and you'll approve of the nightlife. You'll need to check out when their season opening week-end is exactly. Would normally be 2nd or 3rd week December. Good thing is that the Hintertux glacier is just 14k up the valley (bus service) to g'tee your snow should there be an iffy start to the season.
Now, don't forget to arrange yourselves sitting down in a row on the blind side of a hump in the piste

A boarder mate who boards a lot in Austria (lives in Munich) gives Ischgl several big thumbs right up for on and off mountain fun.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Would also recommend Ischgl for early season trips and also for great nightlife. I did a report for it which can be found on the resort reports thread (surprisingly), was Jan 06 I think.

Dunno about Ischgl in mid-December, but late March it was epic, and nightlife was a fine thing too.
I'll do a trip report soon, but there's lots of pics and reports on my blog - see below (still to be finished!)

Got to be Ischgl. Got back two weeks ago. Snow conditions were yet again excellent and the apres ski as good as ever. We had a beginner with us and he reckoned he had the most amazing time of his life and he's 41.

Why has nobody mentioned SOELDEN yet?!!
Snowsure (2 excellent and quite extensive glaciers) and great nightlife - from rustic restaurants to lap dancing. As lively - if not livelier than - Ischgl or Mayrhofen. Loads of reasonably priced accommodation too.
