At the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier at Kaprun, turn left just outside the top lift and you have a around wooden restaurant - th emost wonderful traditional austrian food - i had a a deer stew with redcurrants to die for up there and my wife had something just as great
In fact there are (at least) 2 great restuarants (one half self service) in the MaiseKogel hill in Kaprun too. And then you have Hotel Orgler in the centre of Kaprun, amongst other places
Dont know about St Johann, but we have been to Kaprun 3 times and had good holidays

i'll chip in with a response to that last question - yes. the first year i lived in munich, it snowed a lot early on and then didn't snow for about 2 months really, so we 'lived' on the kaprun glacier (and in the irish pub in the village!).

St. Johann in Tirol is a pleasant area but, on its own, relatively small (not as big as the Skiwelt or Zillertal area, for example, but a little bigger than Niederau alone). But if you are happy to bus around to the other Schneewinkel resorts, Fieberbrunn, Steinplatte/Waidring, etc., there would be more than enough to keep you happy for a week.
If you're staying in Kaprun, there is the small Maiskogel area at the end of the village. For more skiing you would have to take a bus to the Kitzsteinhorn lifts or into Zell (the one ticket covers all these areas). The Kitzsteinhorn (at around 3000m) could be cold in January. I have posted quite a few photos from the Kitzsteinhorn in the Austria Snow Report 12/13 and more recently a few from the upper slopes at Zell in this thread.

* Long answer
Think as intermediates (if) wanting skiing from town then St. Johann would be better than Kaprun, as it's local skiing area is tiny. Zell am See is on the Kaprun lift pass but a bus ride away as is the Kitzsteinhorn glacier. If bussing it is not a problem then all well and good, but St. Johann has a bigger local area and the Schneewinkl pass (I think) covers more piste than the Zell/Kaprun/Kitzsteinhorn one.
* Short answer
Go to St. Johann. Kaprun to small as it's area pass.
