Aside from the main 1 hour feature highlighting the alpine shenanigans from Mayrhofen last month, MTV are also airing individual shows featuring live performances and exclusive interviews from SB12 performers Example, Labrinth, and Dizzee Rascal.

Have a look below to find out where and when to tune in…

Some people pop the question at the top of the Eiffel Tower; others on the beach at sunset. But when Len Ashmore wanted to propose to his darling Miriam, he couldn’t have done it in a better place – In an Austrian Alpine village, on the main stage at the Snowbombing Fatboy Slim Street Party.

As the lasers pieced through the rain, creating a spectrum shower of vibrant sparks above the thousands, Len popped the question, ” You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby… Will you marry me?”& Miriam’s answer was, ‘Right Here, Right Now… I Will!)

The crowd cheered, and Len wore a grin as W-I-D-E as Barry Ashworth’s lapels.

We’re sure you want to join Team SB in wishing them every happiness in their future life together as Mr & Mrs Ashmore and send their union a special Rockafella Skankin’ Snowbombing blessing!

Check out the below footage from Snowbombing 2012 titled the ‘Ultimate Survival Test‘, featuring  Norman Jay at the Motorola Mountain Terrace, Krafty Kuts, Barry Ashworth (Dub Pistols), Fatboy Slim, Dynamite MC, The Cuban Brothers, The Whip, Tayo, Firas, the unforgettable Carnival Queen, Captain America, Flash Gordon,  and even Mistajam on a skidoo!

Take your pick of pillows! Today we can announce the date and location for next year’s Snowbombing…

SB13 will take place from Monday April 1st – Friday April 6^th once again in Mayrhofen, Austria.

Just like everything else in the Universe, Snowbombing grows from the centre: Each year the first beds to get filled are the most central. If you want one of these beds, now is the time to act!

As some Latin bloke once said: ‘carpe diem’! (which we erm think means “sieze the carp”). Either way – what’s important is that the earlier you book the more central your carp, err bed will be. We’ve even drawn up a guide to some of the most central beds in all pricing categories to help you head (eider) down-town!

Don’t delay, book the best beds now!

Universal truths: Buttered toast always lands on the carpet the jammy side down… Early birds catch the worm and Snowbombing’s best beds always fill up first.

What’s the criteria for a “best bed”? Well here’s some insider tips:

1. Central is King! Any bed within 5-10 minutes walk of the Penken or Ahorn lifts are where you should be aiming to reserve your bed.

2. You get what you pay for: 4 star splendour at the Sporthotel Manni will see you hanging in luxury in their rooftop jacuzzi!

3. The Strass is Class! Your crib is spitting distance from the Penken Lift /Arena/ Ravers Return and Hans the Butchers. 4 star quality and 9 star location – grab it while you can – regulars just love the spa, the pool, the lawn and suffer the Cinderella lift (it turns into a pumpkin after midnight…)

4. You Lucky Brucke! : 3 star cosiness above the Schlussel and next door to the mighty Ahorn lift, this traditional hotel is perfectly placed for both lifts, the glacier bus and next door’s Bruck’n'Stadl.. The waitresses even wear those frilly white blouses!

5. Manni’s apartments: These self catering pensions are ideally situated midway between the Penken and the Racket Club, and are tucked away just off the high street. ‘Best kept secret in town?’ They were before today!

Last year around 1 in 5 Snowbombers stayed outside the Mayrhofen central area. The other 4 reserved their rooms with an early deposit… It’s your choice!

Snowbombing 2013 goes on sale on Friday. Don’t miss out on the above and reserve your spot for just a £125 deposit!

The below videos contain interviews with Snowbombing all stars Skream, Mistajam, & Mr Motivator and shows highlights from the week, including The Snowbombing Street Party with Fatboy Slim, the Arctic Disco, & the Eristoff Forest Party.

Our final podcast from Snowbombing 2012 is here, featuring tracks from Blawan, Jungle Brothers, Joecelyn Brown, & Labrinth!

Since landing back in the UK, the boys have been busy piecing together a round up video of their week at Snowbombing, and we thought it would be rude not to share it with you – Check out their alpine antics from the Hof below…

With high success in the mountains, we’re also pleased to tell you that the boys are now preparing for their next event which will be taking place at SCALA, London on Saturday 26th May. The event marks their 5th Birthday; featuring sets from Newham Generals, Marcus Nasty , Gorgon City and Rudimental who have recently received massive success with the release of  their track ‘Feel the Love’ ft John Newman.

They even feature their very own Snowbombing playlist!

In a separate article Street Party headliner FatBoy Slim goes on to say the following about SB.

“What I love about it is just there’s a vibe like no other. It’s kind of like Glastonbury on ice. And all the people are absolutely committed in the same way that people at Glastonbury don’t worry about a bit of mud. People here don’t worry about a lack of sleep. You know, I kind of assumed that people either go out or go snowboarding, but these people go out and then snowboard and then go out and then do the same again. They’re a hardy breed. There are very few festivals that just have that same feeling of community that comes from a shared experience as mental as this.”

“Great things are done when men and mountains meet”  

{William Blake, English mystic, visionary, poet and painter}

5000+ Snowbombers, Dizzee Rascal playing Bonkers twice in the forest, Fatboy Slim skanking to lasers in the rain at the street party, Norman Jay’s Good Times Sound System swapping Notting Hill for a snowy one. Skream, Mistajam, Jackmaster & Artwork on a double decker bus at the board park in the sunshine, Groove Armada’s Red Light’s mind-blowing visuals from outer space, Fabric Live rocking the igloo, again, Urban Nerdery in the Raver’s Return, Yoda in the Schlussel, Heidi in the Bruck’n’Stadl, Damian Lazarus in the Arena. Eddie the Eagle smashed on schnapps. Rompa’s Reggae Shack shaking the mountain all week long, Mr Motivator causing a resort-wide shortage of bananas after recommending them as a detox, a pack of Fentons, scary Kerry Katona masks (hope they were masks…), nuns, bears, camels, celery, purple fairy wings, Pat Sharp (Pat Sharp!), random Road Trip TV stars arriving to crowd-lined streets and the weather throwing absolutely everything at you – and watching you emerge victorious!

Snowbombing 2012 was everything we hoped it would be; a blizzard of wizardry; a gathering storm of anything-outside-the-norm and blue sky behaviour beyond our wildest expectations…

Thank you for making it unforgettable. You were awesome like you always are. Vielen danke, from the bottom of our bottoms. IT. WAS. UNFORGETTABLE! From what we remember!

2013: Lucky for some… Our most central hotels are always first to fill. Each year they are eagerly (and eagle-eyedly) reserved by wise Snowbombers who preciously place a holding deposit on ‘early doors’ to reserve their room. SB13 Early doors open Friday 27^th April, when we’ll be announcing next year’s dates…

Remember –The early bombers get the best beds!
