    I can't really be of that much help other than to say that most resorts will have a good mix of blue, red and some black slopes so from that point of view I wouldn't have any worries.

    I only know Zell am See from the above but I don't know the hotel. Zell is quite a large town so you *could* have a nice walk from the hotel to the lift. In Austria the ski buses aren't anything to be afraid of. The service is great and you can usually find somewhere cheap near the lifts to leave your skis and boots should you want to.

    For advanced begineers I still think either Soldeu / Andorra or Livigno / Italy is your best bet.

    Both are very large resorts with plenty of blues/reds, both tax free, both have good night life and depending on the hotel you can be within 5 min of the Gondola.
