I am going on 5th Jan for a week with 28 of us! As you have been there before, do you have some info on the resort? I have heard it doesnt often snow actually in the resort, is that right? Or you just ski back to your door?

tim000, I've not stayed in the Pramstraller B&B so I can't help there.
Miche, Welcome to snowheads 
You have to get the main gondola back into town. There's only a couple of (unpatrolled) valley runs from the main Penken area, both of which have poor cover in anything but high season and both finish a bus ride back into Mayrhofen itself. There's a valley run from the mostly beginners Ahorn area that is maintained with artificial snow to the village all season, but you'll still have to walk back to your accomodation.
The gondola bottom stations and I think the Penken top station have overnight ski storage and boot warmers which only cost €2 a night or about €10 for the week so are well worth it.
The village is at 630m so you're right in saying it gets very little snow. The slopes themselves start at 1750m so are pretty reliable.

yes it, s true , you cant ski/board back to the village from the panken . you can from the ahorn . when i was there 3 years ago the ahorn run had been down graded to a red  .i think it,s gone back to a black now . mayrhofens a great place with loads of piste to go at . you can get the train down the valley to seveal other resorts which is well worth doing . kaltenback is one that i went to last time , much quieter the marhofen . the train is free with your lift pass . mayrhofen can be very busy on the first day(sunday) so if you are having lessons get to the lifts very early . where are you staying ?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hi Miche, snow will be absolutely no problem. If it is a freak winter then you also have the Hintertux glacier close by. Ahorn is the only side to ski down to the valley. the cloud cover is starting to lift here in Innsbruck and there has been a good snow fall on all the local mountains, same in the Zillertal as far as I can see.

I recommend making the trip to Hintertux for a day trip even if the snow in Mayrhofen is good. It's a fab little area.
