Where to go skiing in January?

Ok, first things first. January snow is never ever a problem. Its often sunny and cold, but the base this season is as good already as it has been for years, so dont worry a thing about the snow.
I've gone B&B, Half Board, and this season we are going catered chalet. Eating out is well priced and theres lots of choice. Its no more than here, and sometimes less, although the exchange rate has put paid to many of the good deals I have had. Italian, Austrian, courden bleu, traditional - theres loads of places to try.
I'd recommend Mo's - tex mex on the cross roads in town; Krammerwirt for traditional Austrian but pricey; Hotel Neue Post for an extensive and cheap menu; Mannis for a really good vibe and good food too. Theres a couple of decent Italians too but I forget their names now.
As for good deals - we've booked this season with Crystal, and I've never used them before. I've been with Inghams several times, Nielsen once, and also booked direct through www.mayrhofen.at and taken my own flights and hired a car.
I've had a week HB for £229, and week B&B for £150, and also been Xmas week for £650 HB but stopping at the Landhaus Roscher with dinner at the Strass.
Expect to pay around £400 HB this season on average, but you will get good deals if you wait and can be flexible.

I would not let the posting on snowheads put you off, go and experience Mayrhofen for yourself,as
one of the posters said "they were eating in four star hotels"

Mayrhofen is great, i'd highly recommend it. Got a couple of mates going there over New Year and they tell me the snow conditions are looking brilliant already.
Another option might be somewhere like Cervinia in Italy? Just an idea! Its high altitude, guaranteed snow, and is on the other side of the Matterhorn from Zermatt (the area lift pass covers both areas). Massive area, guaranteed good snow, and one of the best on - mountain restaurants i've ever been to!!
If you want any more info about Cervinia, let me know.

Tony_H how was the snow mid Jan? We have always gone half board until now. Is it better to go B&B and find somewhere to eat in the evening? Is eating out much more expensive? Can you advise any websites with good deals in Mayrhofen? The best deals I found were with Crystal ski.
Thanks in advance.
