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. |

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 Snowbombing Forum – 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 'Ibiza in the snow' 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. |
