Just got back from the Snowbombing thing there week before last. It's a decent place - its about 15mins in a cable car to the slopes. maybe it was because it was early april, but the slopes were really quiet, even with snowbombing going on - didn't queue once for a lift.
It's got a good park if your into that, though generally looked like a pretty hardcore park!
My one critisism (sp?) of the slopes were that it felt a bit disjointed - i.e. to get over to other slopes, you'd have to go on a few different lifts, down a slope to another lift etc, know what I mean?
Mayrhofen town is wicked too. best asking UKboarder, believe he's been a few times.

i went if feb time, had a great time the burton park had been recently finished the pipe wasnt finished though which was a shame.
The mannis is a great hotel. after a few days you will learn the short cuts to get to different areas of the mountains. My advice is that you should hit hintertux excellent glacier, the runs are huge and theres something for everone. If you have the choice try and get the area pass as it enables you to go all along the ziller valley and every slope. also gives you free bus around town and to hintertux, as well as the little train that takes you along the valley and to jenbach(station your need if you want to go to innsbruck or anywhere else in austria).
Sorry its a really long post , the scotland yard pub(scotties as its known to locals) open 7-3.30 is a must to visit great atmosphere which really starts to kick off at around 11.30 depending on night.
they do have a night club if your into that sort of think cant remember what its like as i went on the last night and cant remember too much of it.
if you want to know anymore about anything just say and ill help you out if i can.
