Snowbombing 5 April 2005

SNOWBOMBING IS BACK FOR IT’S 6th YEAR…IN A BRAND NEW RESORT!
Snowbombing is the ultimate week-long winter holiday bringing together hoards of skiers, boarders and party people and serving up a world class line up of music together with an international ’slopestyle’ competition. Since its conception in 2000, it has taken over the best ski resorts in Europe and thrown the biggest parties on the piste together with breathtaking displays from the worlds most extreme boarders and skiers. Snowbombing is back with a brand new location for 2005, with a huge line up in the pipeline and an even bigger competition, swapping the midwinter chill for an end of season party in the warm spring sunshine with plenty of time to plan your holiday.
Mayrhofen, situated in the Zillertal Valley (think ‘chocolate box’ rather than high-rise concrete jungle), is a match made in heaven for Snowbombers. A resort packed with clubs, bars, top quality beds and sun-kissed balconies in centrally located hotels.
The resort offers a leg wobbling 620 km of piste, served by 177 lifts. Ride to the top of Austria on the Tux glacier and gaze through the hazy sunshine into three different countries…before carving your way down the w-i-d-e motorway pistes in snow you've only ever dreamt about! Mayrhofen hosts one Europe's best Snow parks. Shaped daily, the massive area gives access for those that can, to a super pipe, loads of kickers with up to a massive jump gap…and guaranteed snow (thanks to the nearby Tux glacier), for even the most ardent sleep, silence & gravity abusers!

Snowbombing will be hosting a huge Slopestyle competition- combining every boarding discipline in one breathtaking run- tackling rails, hips, kickers and table tops and a huge 25m jump gap- to create one of the most awe inspiring spectacles of extreme skiing and boarding. Never failing to deliver, bringing in more than 40 pro - riders from every corner of the globe to risk life and limb to the backdrop of a live stage hosting top DJs and live acts, for the coveted trophy of SB Slopestyle 05.
Continuing to re-define the term, “après ski”- Snowbombing has thrown some of the best parties on Snow in the last 5 years and that’s set to get better with a network of hosted bars, spontaneous street performance, projections & displays…as the whole town is transformed into one h-u-g-e end-of-season festival. This year will feature a mix of live music and DJs, with purpose built stages and a headline performance on the mountain situated 6000 feet high, amidst the Burton board park, overlooking the valley. Artists already confirmed include DJ Yoda, Mylo Live, Norman Jay, Stereo MCs (DJ set), Mr Thing and First Rate….Watch this space as over the next few weeks they’ll be announcing some massive headline artists. This year they’ve reached further afield to Holland, Germany and Austria … bringing together the adrenaline generation from Amsterdam to Aberdeen & Manchester to Munich… in short: pan European pandemonium!
