Hello peoples!
So I've been thinking about going to snowboambing 2010, but the website isnt up till september and all the information i've found is pretty wishy washy and I was kind of hoping someone on here could tell me something, and by that i mean pretty much anything about snowbombing.
cheers for any help!

Some love it. Some hate it. Never been myself and instead go to the Brits, which it normally clashes with. I can certainly recommend that.

if ur planning on doing snowbombing dont expect 2 b able 2 do lots of riding, maybe going up the mt. nd sunning while starting the boozing listening 2 the music.
its a messy week with a sick line up, tbh i havent been, gone 2 the brits instead like dunx but i really wanted 2 fob the brits off this year cause it did look sooo good.

Snowbombing! Yeah some people love it, some hate it.
I went last year and some bits were good and some were bad.
I booked into a shared apartment which snowbombing said would only be a small walk in to town. When I got there they said I needed a taxi. It was a 45/50 minute walk to the centre of Mayrhofen. So book a named hotel if you book a snowbombing package or book own accomadation + a wrist band for the parties. Some of the nice 4* hotels worked out the same cost as my apartment + taxi costs.
Don't take the organised bus there. I've heard a lot of bad stories about it. One going around was someone was beaten up for drawing a penis in marker pen on someone asleep.

I think having pen on your face on the bus is the least of your worries. One of the poor girls who used to come on scuk was (ALLEGEDLY) given a package to carry by the official snowbombing rep when she got on the bus only to find out later it was full of pills. Paying to go on holiday and (ALLEGEDLY) being used as a drugs mule, nice.

Snowbombing aint for me, but my mates went last yr and had a riot.
Didnt get up til mid morning, rode for 4/5 hrs, and then got straight back on the beer. Riding came a close second to drinking but thats whats summer and festivals are for if you ask me.

Plus sides of snowbombing-
Mayrhofen is a great resort. Great mountain loads of places to ride, eat and drink!
Snowbombing put quite a bit of effort into the clubbing side of things. All the sound systems sounded good. All of them were Function1. I was a bit dissappointed with the one at the street party it had all the bass eq'd off it.
Check out this video from the street party. At about 2 and half minutes in, it turns into something like a drink aware advert.

Nick- It was the tracksuit party that night. Thats probably why that guy had them on for. It was also something beginning with S fancy dress theme so thats why there are smurfs, etc as well.

Did all my partying at all night raves years ago, so it doesn't appeal to me these days - it's all about the shred 
, so why waste slope time feeling ill and with a hangover?
But antistar, if you're interested in asking people who go what they think, or want to read a bit on past years you could try the <a href="http://www.snowbombing.com/forum/index.php" target="_blank">Snowbombing Forum</a> – there might be a few people using it over the summer...

I remember those idiots jumping off the roof - was standing by the gasser at the time.
Yeah snowbombing seems to be more about partying than riding, hardly any snowbombers were on the hill from what i saw and those that did go up looked worse for wear or were pissed.
However it was fun toe edge spraying em when they were sitting around on the piste.

True: horses for courses...
I guess as SB's main backer and promoter is the Metro newspaper then the event's going to get a hugh amount of exposure in the press and appeal to Joe Public, clubbers and the Ibiza set just as much as boarders (maybe even more so the clubbers, given it's very music orientated?!)
Hell, I seem to remember it being marketed as <i>'Ibiza in the snow'</i> some years ago, so is it any wonder such a mixed bunch turn out for it...
Like anything, you pays your money and makes your choice.

Method mag got really behind the snowbombing thing last year which seemed a little embarrassing.. but i guess those trendy euro kids are still into glow sticks, alco-pops, E's, Wizz & raving..
my idea of hell as well..mainly due to the musical content.. although over the last few years the brits seems to be starting to follow some of the snowbombing ideas.. alot of DJ's have been added to the apre-sessions.. but at least it's balanced with some rock and indy.. let's hope it doesn't go completely to the dark side!!

Another snow-festival to consider is Snowside, from the company that organise Secret Garden Party.
http://www.snowside.co.uk/
Unfortunately Snowside 2009 was cancelled but if they manage to get 2010 organised, judging by how amazing Secret Garden Party is, it will be awesome.

agreed nick.. none of the the thread was really important.. just normal shreds stating opinions on anothers view of fun...
as seems to of become normal when SB get's mentioned it gets blown out of all proportion, and suddenly everyone starts throwing around threats and abuse...
snowbombing is not for everyone, neither are scuk bashes, Napalm Death Gigs, fat boy slim, the brits or naked walks in private woodland...
people just need to realise that it's only frikin snowboarding (well except snowbombing which only claims to be and is allegidly a front for international aspirin smuggling) and it's two (relatively) anonymous forums on the web ffs!!
and i'm really cross i've had to agree with Nick.... that's twice this year already!! 
although i will disagree.... the claims that Dunx has a "proper" job dubious... working on the mod interweb isn't a real job..get down pit lad!!

Post from last time Snowbombing was being slated:
Beore i start, i will say that there are pretty varied opinions of Snowbombing and i can only elaborate on my personal experience.
2009 was my third time and i think it is hard to beat on many counts. Value for money, excellent atmosphere, excellent resort (empty pistes at Snowbombing), excellent music, access to glacier if the snow is crap. I could go on.
I know some people have had bad experiences but i personally haven`t, nor has anyone who i have met.
Basically, if you love music and the empty pistes i think it is a must.
Unfortunately the music in 2009 wasn`t really my bag and probably why we will give it a miss next year which is a bummer, but its good bits far outweigh its bad bits.
On a final note, i know the organisers do a damn good job and due respect to them, which is why i think its a bit unfair to give the gig overall so much bad PR just because a few nutters turn up, and yes they do, but hey, we have nutters everywhere!

Hmmmm.......Where to start here...? As a moderator on the SB forum and somebody who has worked at SB and for Outgoing Ski, I feel I should clear some air here. I only have my memory to go by regarding quotes as this thread has been cut somewhat. (my memory sucks)
Let's start with the mysterious bag of pills which are said to have caused some problems on one of the coaches from the UK. It's one of the truths of an event like Snowbombing that there will be people who wish to sneak various substances in, the same as any festival. As coach travel is an option it will be seen as an easier method for such sneaky smugglers to operate, rather than toiling with airport security.
All the staff are aware of this and extra vigilance is the only real way to control it, short of searching everybody which is often the case at most mainstream summer festivals. However, in this one particular case, the suspicous bag was spotted, reported and duly seized at Dover. The customs officers naturally have to do their job and search the bus....Simple as. One person spoils it for the rest, and this can happen on any such journey. I'm just glad it didn't happen on my coach. I'd say it was a job well handled, and certainly was not an "inside job" of any kind.
The penis on the head incident. This was at a private party one evening at the event, and involved many personal friends of mine. Basically one of my mates drew this dick on the other one who had fallen asleep. When he woke he saw red and threw a few punches. He's since been banned from Snowbombing. He's known to have a short fuse, and does not represent the general good natured people who attend.
So let's put this in to perspective........3000+ people, 2 incidents........I'm sure there are more. It's certainly not sufficient to brand the event on that basis.
The simple fact is, that it is a very successful festival. Widely sponsored and backed by professional skiers and boarders, their teams, the media....plus a multitude of other organisations. The good residents of Mayrhofen welcome the event with open arms, during that last week of the year when all has gone quiet. The revenue they generate is gratefully received and very fw complaints are made.
I'm trying to remain as neutral as possible here, and pleased to see that many posters on this thread have stated their honest opinions of SB. They enjoyed it, but "not really their thing". Or some loved it and will go back. In addition, this thread was started by an SCUK regular. Many of SB's forum users are also members here, so if a Snowbombing thread is started, it will obviously entice some of us to log in and join the conversation.
You take Snowbombing as you choose, either a big party, a ski-ing/ boarding holiday with a little clubbing......Or for those with the stamina to survive....Both. Nobody forces people to go, but it books up pretty quick, and offers world class entertainment.
I'm not really in to "forum wars", at the end of the day, we all enjoy the same playground. So lets make the most of it.
I think that's all just for now, I'm happy to ride along with this discussion, providing it stays nice and sweet........Look forward to some replies.
Oh...And I'm a skier, though I can board too....(but goofy) I'll consider myself ousted on both points

Sorry I got the incident on the bus wrong. I was passing comment on the bus trip from hell I was told about. I flew to the resort as I didn't really fancy the bus journey. It only takes one person on the bus to make it a really bad journey. On the flipside if you take the bus you will make new friends etc and I'm sure loads of people really enjoyed it. I also heard good stuff about the road trip which I failed to mention. Everyone thought the cocoon club in Germany was amazing.
Snowbombing is a good week away, Mayrhofen is a brilliant resort and is definately worth checking out.
Can you take off the comments on your website that I have a deranged mind? Cheers

Paying to go on holiday and (ALLEGEDLY) being used as a drugs mule, nice.
As this is still there to read, I suppose it is still fair game for comment. The following is a direct quote from Squishy herself:
"I know the coach had to be searched, but if the package hadn't been given to the rep in the first place it wouldn't have been is my point."
I would quote it properly, but the thread is locked. You can read it here if you need to double check it http://www.snowboardclub.co.uk/index.ph ... p;start=15 - 6th post down.
So, hopefully for the last time, and as posted by the original complainee.... What happened is that some "random guy" (another quote, from the very first post) gave the rep a package, and he did not take it, and the coach got searched because of it. What categorically did NOT happen, (other than ALLEGEDLY, and pretty much only by Nick) was that an SB official rep tried to use Squishy as a drugs mule.
Seriously, that has to be removed, and never repeated.

Firstly proven to be untrue is a vague statement, its seems to be one persons word against another, thats not really proof but it is enough to mean that it shouldn't be claimed one way or another without any proof, which is why i partly retracted that statement and added allegedly as i should have done in the first place. Howevere, given that the original thread ran and ran for days on scuk causing a massive argument and slanging matchback and forth without any threats of legal action form either side i didn't really think making an off the cuff remark about it again in jest three years later wouldn't be that much of a big deal. Also if you think that should be deleted completely then maybe the hugely offensive remarks about a the young girl concerned should be deleted form snowbombing forum?
Secondly this all kicked off because someone came over her with the specific intent of causing trouble. You gotta remember that anyone can read your forum so to be writing the kind of stuff some of your lot were, about 'lets go and have a go and see if we can get scuk to bite' is a little childish and antagonistic. Just as you say we have to expect people from snowbombing to come here and comment, you gotta expect people from here to be pretty pissed off and to fight back when your little gang starts a thread taking the piss out of scuk people and scuk in general. Hey ive noticed im getting a right bashing on your forum but i havent registered on there to argue, i mean whats the point other than to make yourself feel big in trying to belittle other people? Someone asked what people though about snowbombing and i said i think its hell on a stick, becaus thats why it sounds like to me. . I also think that Adu Dhabi looks like a sh1t hole and i cant see why anyone wold visit there and if anyone asked me thats the answer i'd give. No i've not been to either place but ive seen enough to know that, so if anyone asked i'll give my opinion. I detest dance music, clubbing, raving, avin it large etc etc etc so obviously i dont need to have been to say i think i sounds sh1t. No one ever said you shouldn't go, its obviously a matter of opinion and depends hugely on what you're into. We do however have the right to say that in our opinion it sounds feck terrible, or great or wicked or whatever. What you shouldnt get is people coming over her and registering with the express and stated intention of causing trouble just because someone thinks your thing is crap. Thats when things go wrong, people fight back, thats natural.
To be honest i dont really care i just take offence at people coming and causing trouble or writing antagonistic and completly rude things about people on their own forum because they cant handle someone having a different opinion to them.
The owners of snowbombing complained ( despite not complaining three years ago when this originally kicked off, which i find rather odd, but thats another story) so the thread was moderated and changed to remove certain elements. I would however possibly make the suggestion that in turn before going off on one at another forum they take a look at their own forum and some of its members attitude and get their own house in order as well.

Are you an appointed spokesperson..?
Tha managing director from Snowbombing, who is friendly with the SCUK bosses complained because your comments were deemed inappropriate and mis-leading for a public forum which may attract attention towards the event.
As we all, in general look forward to sharing the good times in the mountains I'd say that such moderation was present and correct.
I'm still interested in learning why you are so against Snowbombing when you have never experienced it......Surely it can't be on the basis that you read a few comments on a forum..?

Im talking the royal we, an individual can only give their own opinion, when i say we and our i mean out own personal opinion, obviously! We means anyone can give their own opinion, i really dont think you understood what i was saying at all here.
As i said i hate dance music, clubbing, raving etc etc etc, so en event thats been marketed as 'ibiza on snow' isnt for me, i dont need to have been there to know that. Im not so against it, a thread appeared asking what people though, i along with several others gave an opinion. That would have then been the end of it if people hadn't jumped on this thread looking for an argument. As i also said his complaints were fair enough and it was changed. I am however slightly confused why that is all they're complaining about and why now and not before. Ive just re read the original list of accusations from the original girl and it was pretty comprehensive, from standard of service to basic standards of road safety. Its confused me why none of these were either then or now seemed to be inappropriate and mis-leading. Surely the people in question should be asking for them to be removed as well, or should have done three years ago when they were first alleged. Im not making any accusations here since i wasnt there and its all second hand information. Im just genuinely confused why a suggestions of drugs that was posted off the cuff and removed a few hours later was deemed to be so much more serious than an allergation about basic customer safety on the road thats been sitting on this site for three years for anyone to read? If a massive long list of complaints about various things weren't considered to be inappropriate and have been left online for all this time then can you see why referencing the original case again didn't seen too much of a big deal?

Oddly enough I didn't
Ok.....So SB is not your cup of tea. Once more this thread was started by an SCUK regular who expressed a genuine interest.
I'm sure that most people can decide for themselves whether or not the festival will appease their tastes without such futile bickerings.
It is a great fun week, and an exciting end to the season.......

I wouldn't expect purely positive comments, nor is it my concern to do so. But I'm sure that SBHQ will welcome all genuine constructive comments both for and against.
Marmite is sticky and black......SB is fluffy and white........I think you are on to something..! Incidently, I've had a recent discussion with somebody about marmite.......she thinks vegemite is better, but I've never tried it......Any ideas..?

She's probably either Australian or has visited Australia and is trying to sound cool and well travelled... she's wrong and she probably knows it... it's like people who claim:
Pizza is better in Italy (it isn't)
Sausages are better in Germany (they aren't)
Steak is better in Argentina... well okay that one is true.

Because, years down the line as you say, this is what get's brought up by you and others. And on it's travels, as I have indicated above, it's been embellished, and exagerated, and still presented as fact. No longer a "suggestion", but a full on allegation. I don't recall you answering with something along the lines of "Pen on your face is the least of your problems, what about the safety of the bus, or the fact that one of the DJs didn't want it to snow so he could get a suntan!"
That post is the sole reason anyone from SB replied.
As for your "he said, she said" comment, it's not my word against yours, I wasn't there just like yourself. Squishy was, and it's actually her words (quotable, from this very site) against yours.
And next year, when SB11 comes up, someone (likely you, in my opinion) will bring it up AGAIN.
PS, she is indeed Australian and well travelled.

Dude let it go. You've never even been to snowbombing and arent anything to do with the organisation so it seems you're just arguing for arguings sake now.

You know full well that sb people have a history of coming on scuk just for an argument so at least give them some responsability for once.

What I know, is that people from SB have historically come on here to bitch and moan (yes, I know it happens, like you said you've read the original post recently, you will see how many times I attempted to stop people on both sides from slinging insults) ONLY ABOUT THESE COMMENTS. It never happened before, and it only happens now when they get brought up again.
That allegation is the only thing that brings SCUK and SB together for an argument. Surely you see this.

Mate its you who keeps bringing it up and wont let it lie. Its as if youve been wronged yourself personally rather than an event youve never been to and by your own admition will never go to. The comments have been altered and the owner of sb is happpy so why do you keep going on about it? In your absense one of the sb moderators has been here having a friendly chat and answering querstions in a humerous manner, its only you who seems unable to let something that was said two days ago lie and keeps insiting on going over and over it quoting this and that and picking holes in everything said. Youre clearly only arguing for the sake of it as you like arguing with me yet you make out your on some moral crusade to protect the honour of snowbombing, an event youre unconnected with and have never even been to. It needed standing up for and it has been, the matters been dealt with by the peoplewho run scuk and the people who run sb, neither of which youre involved with so why do you feel the need to keep going.
Please leave it, im not going to post another reply its pointless so please do the same, no one is interested and all that is important is that whatever was deemed inapropriate by the people who matter, not by you, has been removed and theyre happy.

This argument does seem to keep raising its head. I'd rather it didnt, so I think its probably best that you both agree to disagree.
For the record we (Soulsports) run The Brits, and I know Gareth who runs Snowbombing, we both get on very well (spoke yesterday about this post) and understand that our events are totally different and also aimed at diferent people, so its not going to be everyone's cup of tea.
THE END?

I'd also add that Gareth's call was the reason this thread was moderated. I don't think there's any need for antagonism here on either side. There's no need to take everything so personally.

Dunx I'm not being deliberately antagonistic, I've laid out a fair assessment of why this argument has happened in the past, why it is happening now, and why it will likely occur in the future. I've not said anything nasty or sarcastic. I know I'm being repetetive, but it's because I don't feel that Nick is actually listening or responding to what I say.
I want to see that post removed, not as a snowbomber, or as someone who is connected to them, but as a SCUK member who does not feel it is appropriate for this site, even with a couple of comedy "ALLEGEDLY"s thrown in. If that post is removed (preferably by Nick, or yourself) I will immediately shut up about it. If it is not removed, it will still be around for next year, and round 3.

inappropriate... people in glass houses... how about removing that inappropriate avatar... surely that's part of a bullying campaign that was carried out against this girl.. ALLEGEDLY!!

It's a good point, I'll even chuck in a new avatar. It should be pointed out that it's not actually her, but someone from either Corrie or Eastenders, although it was originally her avatar in the picture frame.
EDIT: I joined when it changes from TheBoarder to SCUK. I was a fully paid up member for 3 years, number 555. I still get my insurance via TAG/SCUK, and clearly I am still a member of the community, AKA this forum.

Compared to english ones they are, in fact english ones are the worst ones. Never seen white raw meat in a sausage until i came to UK, ewwww...

I'd normally post a picture of a girl in a bikini, or of a squirrel with massive balls, but these things seem to be getting moderated...
I'd just like to end this discussion/argument by letting the two major protagonists, Mssrs Stuffe-and-nonsense and NickImmature, know that the SCUK and SB community as a whole would like them both to...
I rest my case.
I also fear this will also be moderated.

Once again someone who has been there trying to make it sound cooler than it is... there is no meat in german sausages... it's all lips and @rseholes... the only time a currywurst is good is at 0600 just before you head to the fish markey in hamburg after an all nighter.
A proper lincolnshire sausage is the way ahead.

I'm very proud of my german heritage and bloodlines, though must state that I think sausages are crap.....Wherever they come from. Fat, gristle, genitalia, earlobes and a dose of spleen for good flavour.
Bloody hell.....This thread went off topic...! Now I feel at home.
