Additional information can be found below and on the Outgoing booking form. If you can't find what you need, then there's been plenty of discussion threads running in the SCUK Bash forum. You can email Outgoing Customer Services or call them on 0845 331 3040. Alternatively, email Dunx at SCUK.

We'll give you a few days to settle in and there we're straight in with the SCUK Pub Quiz. Your team will have to overcome both physical and mental challenges to emerge victorious on the night.

Expect anything!




Entry is optional, but if you whimp out we won't be happy! Always the "last run" of the week, we tempt fate and throw caution and ourselves to the wind. We've yet to decide on a suitably gruelling course, but expect it to be long and hard, like good times should be.

The first gentleman and lady rider across the line will walk away with the much coveted "Fist of Nuff Respect", with everybody else as losers, but each with a tale to tell their grandchildren.




Doors to the Billabong Air & Style open at 3pm. The competition proper starts around 5pm and ends around 10pm.

The event is held on our day of arrival, so you won't miss any time on the slopes as your included slope pass doesn't start until Sunday. We'll head straight back up to Mayrhofen after the event, have a good night's sleep and then hit the hill the next day.

We also have it on very good authority that the UK's Jamie Nicholls will be competing. Bring your Union Jacks!

Option: Special SCUK Air & Style tickets at £30 per person (box office €46).

The return coach for Air & Style. (3.30pm Mayrhofen - Air & Style. 11pm Air & Style - Mayrhofen.)

Option: £40 return coach per person.

Book now!


Billabong Air & Style 2011 highlights





Update 26th Jan. Room allocations are here.

As noted, we have a selection for all pockets, ranging from 4* hotels to 2* pensions. They way groups are booked in resort means we don't necessarily know which specific places we'll be in, but we do know we have a heap of rooms booked in the following establishments. This should give you a good idea of what to expect.


Most rooms are "Austrian Twins"; which is a room with a double bed frame and two single mattresses. This is the Austrian norm.

All the room allocations will be done by SCUK nearer the time, so couples will be together, mates will be together and rooms will be single sex unless people are happy to share with mates of a different sex.

All options are bed & breakfast as there are plenty of places for people to meet up and eat in Mayrhofen. We're already providing food options on two nights anyway - Welcome Meal (included) and Backcountry Party (optional).

Mayrhofen is a small place and well served with shuttle buses, so nothing is very far. None of the places we're staying will be more than a 10 walk to town. Click on the point below to see what's what.

SORRY - Not enough bookings, so cancelled. Refunds will be arranged by Outgoing.

Backcountry parties have long been enjoyed by seasonaires and pro-riders, we say why should they have all the fun? Outgoing have pioneered unique evenings out of resort, which are often only accessible by torch lit trek or minibus, to traditional mountain huts in areas of outstanding natural beauty and where local customs are followed. These include imbibing mystical schnapps, local yodelers and taking part in cow milking contest! The descent is usually on toboggans; an adrenalized climax to what is a very very special and unique evening.

Option: £35 per person

Book now!




We are laying on a coach service from the UK and also providing transfers from popular airports. SCUK Forum discussion on "Getting there".

Coach from the UK


The coach is definitely the cheapest travel option. We'll be on a standard executive coach - toilet, DVD/TV and reclining seats.

The coach times and pickup points have now been fully confirmed. The coach will leave from the UK on Friday 3rd and arrive back in the UK on Sunday 12th. All times are local. The ferry times are flexible; we simply get the next available ferry.
