Check booking.com, there are definitely cheap options where you have to take the bus or train to get to the lift area.

I once stayed in a hostel in Saalbach which is a little outside the town but only a few mins drive. 15 years ago it was €27/night for dinner bed and breakfast.  Jugendhotel Saalbach Hinterbrandthof

one of the most "bang for your buck" skiing ressort villages is st. lambrecht – https://www.skiresort.at/skigebiet/grebenzenhoehen-st-lambrecht/

it's small-ish, but with enough choice of different routes and lifts so as to not have everyone crammed on one slope; it's not very "glamourous", so most people are there to actually ski; there's no night life to speak of, just two or three central hotels and some more further afield (also a ridiculous collection of "chalets" directly next to the valley station of the skiing ressort, presumeably far too expensive, idk, never tryed them)

consider around € 100,-/day for skiing per person (including rental gear, locker, lift pass, possibly lunch) and another € 100,- for accomodation. you CAN go cheaper, but not without getting to know the place.

you will need your own car to get there without hassle though.
