Ischgl is marvellous, one of the best resorts in Austria. I wouldn't recommend it for total beginners (no easy runs back into town and hardly any blues anywhere), but for everyone else it's great. It's not as big and as challenging at St Anton but there's plenty of good intermediate stuff if you want cruising or something a bit more challenging.
Have you skiied in Austria before? The Austrians do apres-ski better than anyone else, and Ischgl is lively even by Austrian standards!
The snow record at Isghl is pretty good - it's close to the Arlberg (St Anton) and this is one area of Austria that tends to have good snow depths even when the rest is suffering. Early March you should have no worries at all.
Innsbruck's the closest airport, fly into there for preference. Munich and Salzburg are also possible. I've never done it by public transport but the are trains from Innsbruck to Landeck and there should be an easy direct bus link from there.

Good question, most of the UK agents will be dealing with hotels only. Booking through tourist info is your best bet - try that link above or this one in English at Tiscover, the Austrian tourist info site. There's an e-mail address for Ischgl tourist info there too.

johnnyrotten, I really wouldn't bother, SC accommodation is rare anywhere in Austria and as such you'll pay a premium. The cheapest accommodation anywhere in Austria will be pensions or B&B's.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

I think that underlines my point, those links have around 5 times the number of hotel rooms to apartments, and at a quick glance no apartments that aren't part of a hotel. SC just isn't an Austrian thing.
