 Poster: A snowHead

Looking at flights for New Year from Belfast the cheapest and really only affordable one is to Munich Airport. Soooo any suggestion for new year for skiers who like lots of reds, a few blacks and a wee bit off piste? Suppose would have to be high so maybe Obertauren?

Ski Welt? Head for Kufstein and hang a left. Scheffau has a HUGE car park at the gondola station to cater for the HUGE numbers of often HUGE Bavarians in ENORMOUS motor cars who make the trip at every oppurtunity.

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

Zillertal - Kaltenbach's a couple of hours by transfer bus and has lots of nice wide reds (simple to do it on train if you wish)

St.Anton is about 2h30 from Munich ( but not from the airport ). Serfauss/Fiss/Ladis about the same. Add about 45 mins from the airport depending on time of day.
Kitzbühel is about 2h30 from the airport. Other than that there's decent skiing in the Zugspitzarena near Garmisch. Plus a whole bunch of other places, like Achenkirch etc etc.
The only problem with Munich is that you're strapped for choice

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Presuming there isn't a real bad start to the winter (and most areas are well-covered for artificial snow anyhow), any of the areas around Munich should be fine - most have been mentioned already. I've never had trouble skiing at New Year (though I suppose that it depends a bit on how fussy you are about the snow).

ruthie, Kitzbuhel would be very jolly at NY, I imagine. By car, it's less than 2.5 hours from MUC, unless you get in serously bad traffic.

You're probably finding yourself spoiled for choice by now, that's the way it is  To help a bit, perhaps, Kitzbühel (with Jochberg and Kirchberg), the SkiWelt (Söll, Scheffau, Ellmau, Brixen, Westendorf) and Zillertal are probably the closest to Munich (Garmisch too, though the skiing area isn't so extensive there, though you do have the advantage of the Zugspitze if there were to be a lack of snow - unlikely in my opinion). Ski Amadé and Zell am See/Kaprun/Saalbach-Hinterglemm are a little further away but still within striking distance. Any of them would be good for skiing.
