If you're looking for weekend convenience, stunning views over the northern Alps and well groomed pistes, Waidring is a good option.
The 42km of slopes on the Steinplatte are almost all rated blue or red, with little in the way of challenges for more advanced skiers, aside from the black piste 8. All however are wide and thanks to their northerly aspect and comprehensive snowmaking system, usually hold decent snow despite their relatively low altitude. The lift system is excellent, with high-capacity chairlifts dominant, but note that the resort is prone to weekend queues.
The small village is well located at the foot of the access gondola and has a number of small, family-run hotels to choose from. Note however that you will need to download at the end of the day, or if you’d rather ski back down to your car, drive to the base of the Kammenkörbahn and catch the lift up from there. The valley is home to a number of cross country trails, so pack a pair of nordic skis for your trip too. Getting here is exceptionally easy from Salzburg (50 minute drive) and Innsbruck (90 minute drive), making this one of the most accessible resorts in the Alps.

Snow Overview
Austria
Updated 31/12
A bit of a mixed picture for Austria in the opening sprint of the new year, with snow hitting some unusual places and leaving others a bit bare.
The low pressure area that is due to cause disruption over New Year’s Eve and Day in the UK keeps going and impacts the continent, bringing unsettled conditions to much of the region on Thursday and, importantly, snow. Areas in the west will receive a good dusting, but in the east a good 10cm could be expected down over Thursday and Friday, thanks to this low pressure area mixing with another low pressure area over St Petersburg and the Baltics, sending unsettled weather down from the northeast, too.
Things will turn bitterly cold on Friday, as cold air sweeps in from the Arctic, plunging daytime highs to -12°C at 2,000m. These will recover quickly, however, with the freezing line recovering back to 2,000m by Saturday as more snow moves in across higher elevations. This could see some serious totals down, with at least a foot expected in western reaches and half of this in the east.
