Best Place for family in New Years

Hello all,
We are two families travelling to Austria from the 26th of December through January 2nd and our kids are all beginner skiers (ages between 7 and 12 - so good skiing schools too please). We want to stay and ski in a resort which is not too far from Salzburg (maybe 2hrs tops) and that has different things to do after the lifts close (bars, restaurants, shopping sleigh rides, etc). Also, a good plea to spend the New Year. Please advise as there are too many options and I am not sure which would be the best for us. Thank you very much for your help!

Schladming is just over an hour from Salzburg and might suit you as a family. The beginner slopes are in the Rohrmoos area so would be a good place to base yourself rather than staying in Schladming itself and taking the bus to Rohrmoos? We skied the area twice over the Christmas period and loved it. Schladming is a proper working town and has good shopping etc. The Rohrmoos area has a fantastic toboggan run which is floodlit at night and we also went on a horse-drawn sleigh ride one evening. It is a few years since we last went there, so hopefully someone else around here has more up to date info?
