As much as I love Niederau, if you are all boarders it may not be the best place for you....there are lots of drag lifts and a few flat bits.... [not trying to put you off so us skiiers can have the slopes to ourselves you understand... :twisted:] However, Auffach is about 15 minutes away on the same lift pass and is perfect for boarders so it'd still be worth looking into, it tends to be very reasonably priced....

Love to board, love to drink? St. Anton-no doubts.

From Worldsnowboard Guide:

"Niederau/Oberau are two tiny hamlets with little interest for snowboarders.g Freeriders have nothing of real note, although the blacks under the gondola are not for the squeamish"

"Those who know about where to ride would have to agree that St Anton has the best terrain in Austria, making this place an absolute must. This is a resort that has it all and will suit all styles of riding, though favouring freeriders the most. Whether you’re a freestyle freak, a piste carving poser, a freeride speed king or simply a nappy-wearing new kid, you will love this place.

The area does have the reputation for being expensive and attracting the fur-clad, Ferrari-owning skiers, but whilst they sip pink gins in mountain bars, snowboarders can roam freely over miles of excellent terrain. With steeps, deep powder, air, and trees on all sides of the mountain slopes, it’s hard to beat.

The Arlberg ski pass allows you to ride the linked areas of St Christoph and Stuben, and (via bus) the resorts Lech and Zürs which all offer great snowboarding terrain, with amazing amounts of powder.

Its already been suggested by Smirnoff skier. I can fully endorse his comments on HINTERGLEMM!!!

It is exactly what you are looking for. Great variety of slopes and brilliant, reasonably priced apres ski beer!!!!

All the accomodation is also virtually ski(or board) in, ski out.

Oh, and it has a pretty good park for you too.

Saalbach is great but I'm guessing you want to catch a train? Kitzbhuel is really easy to get to from munich but a bit more pricey and I don't really rate the skiing there.
