Advice please-weekend trip to Munich!

Hi all, just getting into the way of thinking about the ski season again! :D
A group of us are flying to Munich for a weekend at the end of December-we will arrive early on the Saturday morning, leaving again on the Tuesday.
Can anyone suggest good skiing close to Munich? I see that Garmish is close but don't know much about it-a member of the group has suggested Mayrhofen but I am concerned that it is a lttle too far as I would hope to be on the snow by lunchtime on the Saturday (flight lands at 10 am).
We are all fairly accomplished skiers so need something reasonably challenging but don't need big miles for such a short break-does anyone think Seefeld would be a good option?
Any advice would be appreciated,
cheers.

How would you be travelling Ricky, train or car?

A good train service runs from the airport via Munich Hauptbahnhof out to Kufstein and Worgl; for the skiwelt eg Soll, Scheffau Westendorf; and then on down the Inn Valley. Airport to resort can be 2.5 hours, certainly much better than Mayerhofen and with a good area and snow record. Go to http://www.bahn.de/db_uk/view/index.shtml for good info.

We haven't decided yet if we should get a transfer or hire cars. I was thinking that if we were within an hour of the airport we might get a transfer. If we do end up going to somewhere like Mayrhofen then we'll probably rent some cars.
Mayerhofen is a nice enough place but it is the guaranteed snow of the glacier down the road which appeals.
Is there anywhere decent with a good snow record but which os closer than Mayr?
The train sounds good Alan, but I hope to be on the slopes in less than 2 1/2 hours-late December, short ski day!

What time do you fly in?
Train Info
Kitzbuhel is 2.5 to 3.0 hrs
Hopfgarten is about 2h 20m, lets you into the skiwelt
Worgl is 2 hrs, add 20 min transfer into Niederau, Oberau, Auffach
Worgl is about 2h15m, then 20min transfer to Alpbach.

If hiring cars, add an hour for the paperwork and car pick up.
Worgl by car is just under 2 hours.

Cheers Dave, we arrive at about 10 am-I am told that Mayrhofen is about 2.5 hrs as well. Some of the guys know Mayrhofen well and just want to go somewhere familiar, I'm trying to get somewhere that will allow us a half day skiing the day we arrive.
Of course we need there to be snow for that to take place )

Are the trains regular from the airport?
I can't check any time tables as they only give dates up to the early part of December.

Dude, just get a car. The train that runs to Innsbruck is great as well.
I've done train, plane and car. Car is by far the best. You can get a cheap (for you) taxi from the Airport to the Bahnhof.
Good luck have a safe trip, can you snap a few pic's while your out? Give a poor American something to drool over :lol: ?
