Read the NWDNB feature on Snowbombing 2006 (http://www.nwdnb.co.uk/features/features.asp?id=56)

Mayrhofen is an archetypal Austrian ski resort, nestled in the heart of the Zillertal Valley. The main streets are lined with houses and buildings straight off the top of a chocolate box and lederhosen are worn without a hint of irony. For one week in April though, Mayrhofen will play host to the biggest line up of music on snow in Europe. Snowbombing is in sight and they’ve got some amazing artists coming along!

You can of course book flights yourself, which brings the prices quoted above down by about £50.. They provide transfers for about £40 too.

[=DJ-29A=]

excellent, I'll have to confirm with a few mates but it looks like we'll be doing this.

[=DJ-29A=]

where is best to book the flights?

[poi]

We've booked with Lufthansa from Manchester to Munich.

There's several airlines / airports you can fly to: http://www.snowbombing.co.uk/en/booking/30.html

Ryanair leave from Liverpool i think, or there's loads of choice if you can be arsed trekking a bit further.

is there much chance of that in austria in april? i'm no expert but it's pretty late innit

[=DJ-29A=]

wouldnt be much of a snowbombing without any snow!

[connectionist]

is there much chance of that in austria in april? i'm no expert but it's pretty late innit

Oh yes there is. Usually you re pretty safe till the end of April, as we re talking HIGH altitudes here (4,000 metres). But in the case of Mayrhofen you re safe all year round, as they host snowboarding summer camps in - erm - the summer :)

[twistedslant]

last year it was really sunny when we arrived in resort, up on the mountain it was snowy and sunny so you could board in a t shirt, then at the end of the week there was a massive dump of snow and it was whiteout..

[DJ React]

yeah, i got there on the thursday last year, and it had started to melt in places, but friday night was massive snow-dump, then practially white-out on Saturday! it says somewhere on the website that it has some of its best snow cover in early april

and if it did end up being a bit sketchy, there's a glacier just up the road for gauranteed snow :)

[loz]

if anyone is going to this, i'm doing a special back2back house set with the one and only high contast at the chibuku night on friday 7th april. :)

Soph, is it actually gonna be a pirate themed party? noone at SB has confirmed it yet, it was just an idea on the forum...

[Soph]

Snowbombing HQ have been typically undecisive about it, so who what the theme is, I wanna flash dance themed party..that would be be cool, or emo syle rockers with floppy fringes..he he

So excited now, me & gaz are jetting out first thing tomorrow morning. Just finishing off the packing now, i'm so gonna be over the baggage allowance.

Get down to club Fm4 on Sunday 10-11.00 to catch me playing some liquid rollers in run up to Pendulum. :)
