priced flights to innsbruck ( no return from salzburg for some reason) with train trips to kitz from innsbruck return and shladming works out at 130 quid so bargain. any advice on surronding towns with public transport would be appreciated

There is a shuttle train service from St. Johann on the race days. There are some details at http://hahnenkamm.com/directionsshuttle-trains.html. You can buy combined train and race course tickets (the train may even be free from St. Johann - it is from Oberndorf, the next station along the line). Presumably you get off at the Hahnenkamm station, right by the lift, but I have no idea how busy the lift is on race days (or whether there are restrictions because of the race teams). No doubt if you are going up the hill, you have to be there early. Of course, if you plan to stay down in the finish area, you wouldn't need the lift at all; the finish is only a few hundred metres from the station.
It would be possible to stay in other local villages too, e.g. in the Brixental (but be aware that the stations are sometimes some distance from the villages).

Yes, with a short bus trip on the way. But it could be one route to get there if you wanted to watch the top part of the course. Again, though, you would have to be on the first lifts, for there is quite a distance to travel - right through the Westendorf area, bus, Pengelstein, Silberstube, Ehrenbachhöhe.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

a tall order if the DH kicks off at 10.
This far out it's worth banging out some enquiries to Kitzbuhel hotels and see if any will take a booking. Go for the smaller gasthof and B&B type places and someone will offer rooms.

Bode Swiller, Possibly I don't know Kitz that well (or the race timetable). It's quite possible to be in Kitz within an hour from leaving the top of the Alpenrosenbahn though.
You could get the train too, the station is a 15/20 minute walk, depending where in Westendorf you stay.
Other places may be better, but it seems a good option to me (although I would be staying in Kitz if I could, wouldn't want to miss the post race party )
