Where do i ski near Zurich?

Not too sure how you arrive at that conclusion. In fact Swiss Railways would tend to disagree, based on Sion being accessible by either the Zurich-Bern-Visp route, or the Zurich-Biel/Bienne-Lausanne route. Neither route mentions transiting through Geneva.

I am coming by train to Zurich the week of Jan 2. Is there an easy way to get to a ski resort? Where should I go? Thanks!

The train is a great way to travel in Switzerland. Some resorts have no car access, so the train is prefereable. If you decide to take the train, consider getting a Swiss Transfer Pass before you travel, it can save you money. Take a look at:
http://www.sbb.ch/en/
for train timetables and prices, and
http://www.swissrailways.co.uk/
for examples of prices on Swiss Transfer Tickets. I have used this service in the past, and everything worked just fine.
As you say you are arriving by train to Zurich, would it be more cost effective to price up your ticket to a resort as part of the initial journey?
Where to go?...Hmmm, what sort of skiing do you like to do?
So many resorts to choose from :D

Klosters/Davis is great, but Flumserberg is closer. Takes about 1hr20mins by train to Flums, then take the yellow Post Bus up the mountain to Tannenheim or Tannenboden. Best to go mid-week as it's a favourite playground for Zuerchers at the weekend. Probably get 2 days' good skiing out of it. 65kms of pistes. See www.flumserberg.ch. Good website.
See also www.sbb.ch for timetable from Zuerich Hauptbahnhof to Flums. One train change for the fast service.
If you have a car, Hoch-y-Brig is closer. Quite small, but v.good for one day.
