MayrhofenSince Snowbombers love the Austrian resort of Mayrhofen so much, it would be churlish for us to move! We'll be back in our favourite Alpine town in 2011 for the seventh year and.... the best Snowbombing yet. Mayrhofen looks like it's been lifted straight from a chocolate box lid. Add the fantastic choice of Hotels, tons of restaurants, bars, spas, shops and amazing venues...you couldn't ask for more.

Some resort facts:

Snow & PisteThe Snowbombing Super Ski Pass offers amazing value, allowing access to the entire Zillertal Super Ski Area - the Glacier, the Vans Penken Park, 639 km of piste and 167 lifts and gondolas - a white winter wonderland of epic proportions and endless pleasurable possibilities!
More Info
The Zillertal 3000 ski area has every reason to call itself one of the finest skiing and snowboarding areas anywhere in Europe. With 157 km of slopes, 49 lifts and snow guaranteed to 2,500 metres (that's 8,250 feet, in old money), the region numbers among the top ski areas of the Alps. With sunny and treeless summit slopes, broad carving areas and challengingly steep north slopes, fantastic deep snow areas with cornices, humps, powder runs and fun slopes there is something here for everybody from free skiers'n'boarders, to the vertically-challenged nubies (who should make use of Mayrhofens excellent ski schools).

Food & DrinkWith a total of 43 restaurants and 18 bars, you will never be short of options for refuelling (and that's not even including the facilities on the mountain!) The great thing about Mayrhofen is that you will not find any of the extortionate food and drinks prices so common to many European resorts. Beer will set you back only a couple of Euros, and considering Austria drinks more Grolsch than anywhere else in Europe, be sure there will be no shortage!
More Info
Food is also reasonably priced so you shouldn't find yourself burning through as much cash during the day as most ski holidays: in short something for all bellies; be it the home reared organic steaks at the Sneekarhutte to the fine Tyrolean fayre of the Zum Griener, to pizzas the size of Wales at the UFO pizzeria... or every Snowbombers best friend: Hans the Butchers take-a-way!

AccommodationHow many festivals offer you the opportunity to book a bed within towel-flicking distance of an open-air rooftop Jacuzzi or state-of-the-art spa centre with heated swimming pools, beauty treatments and enough steamy sauna type behaviour to make you forget you're British!
More Info
We are blessed in that Mayrhofen is a user-friendly resort - no buses are needed to get around to all our venues in resort...and 90% of our beds are within a short 8-10 minute walk of the lifts. With accommodation to suit all depth pockets - from cost conscious apartments and great value traditional guest houses and centrally located en suite rooms (all with balconies, incidentally)...to bling-tastic 4 star spa luxury sited next door to the main lift!

ARCTIC DISCOAs the sun sets, ride Austria's biggest cable car, to the top of the mighty Ahorn, where an amazing igloo made completely of snow and ice welcomes 300 Snowbombers as they arrive at the Arctic Disco; to an ice cool soundtrack courtesy of some of the worlds best DJs.
More Info
Imagine a rave beneath the Northern Lights, or a disco at the North Pole! Imagine dancing in a club made entirely from snow, with a warming cup of gluwein to keep you glowing. You wander outside, and sit around the huge open bonfire, watching embers dance and soar into a sky filled with a million stars... Close |

Arctic Hotel (Sleep Over)!A once in a life-time experience. The ultimate sleepover high: you and your mates can spend the night in a cosy Igloo, on a spectacular mountain top. Just yourselves, a waiter to bring your food and drinks, and a heated Jacuzzi beneath the stars. Then you awake to an alpine sunrise, eat a delicious breakfast prior to strapping on your board and making first tracks on the virgin piste.
More Info
This is the stuff dreams are made of. Back to nature with a sheepskin rug and bottle of bubbly. Oh yes!
One Igloo costs £500 per night and sleeps up to 5 people. Includes free entry to the Arctic Disco. Close |

STREET PARTYIt's a Roadblock... Literally! We stop the traffic, park a stadium rock Funktion 1 P.A system right across the main street, set up loads of bars and invite the entire population of Mayrhofen to join the fancy dress party. Previous fancy dress themes have included superheroes, mythical heroes, animals, inflatable Viking ships, retro-skiwear... and Bill Oddie.
More Info
Recent years have seen the creme de la creme of Snowbombing talent shake the centre of 'Der Hof' with an open-air festival feel; 2Many DJ's, The Cuban Brothers, Guilty Pleasures, Krafty Kuts, Beardyman, The Loose Cannons and Tape the Top 40 with Barry Peters have all presided over packed pavements and aurally assaulted the asphalt and adoring crowds.

BACK COUNTRY PARTYTravel by coach through the inside of a mountain, up the steep sided valley, through a wild forest, past the waterfall, to the snowfields which lead to the Tux glacier. Here you'll spend your evening in a unique venue: the 200 year old Tristenbachalm: a converted traditional wooden farmstead- which possesses a sound system, outside terrace complete with fire pits, split level bars, minstrels gallery and of course decks! |
 |
HIGHWAY TO HELLEach year we showcase some of Europe's best pro-riders and programme an event in the award-winning Vans terrain park, giving you the chance to see how it should be done. You get to watch rail riding, spectacular big air jumps and suicidal kicker action, sat at the Grillalm with a cool beer in your hand, prior to being joined by the riders in a post-event party. |
 |
KING OF THE MOUNTAINFour amazing bands are given the chance of a lifetime as they travel to Austria and play in the now legendary Xbox Social to groups of party-animal Snowbombers. Only one band can be crowned KOTM and earn themselves a nice lump sum of 2000 euros!
