Virtual Festivals.com

TNT Magazine
"Snowbombing is the coolest music festival of the year."
Elle
"One of the loudest and gleefully received events of the year. Summer's going to have to pull something seriously heavy out of the bag to top this."
IDJ Magazine
"Snowbombing has evolved into one of Europe's most unusual yet impressive music festivals over the last few years. We recommend you get involved."
Mixmag
"The atmosphere is so far removed from the gloom back home it?s like stepping into another world."
IDJ
"The Olympics of Apres-Ski"
The Observer
"The costumes really are something to behold, and the level of dedication given the restrictive baggage allowance is nothing short of madness."
Daily Express
"Snowbombing is one of the only festivals to give me the thrill of thinking: my god this is absolutely amazing, while still in the moment and at the event"

The Observer
"At Snowbombing there are only five hours in each 24 when there isn't some music event going on."
The Observer

The Observer
"Snowbombing is the highlight of my season...fewer punters on the slopes meaning no lift queues, and quick laps through the park. Beautiful warm sunny weather, an amazing park, and the best parties of the year make it one not too miss. If you love snowboarding and you love partying, what more could you ask for? Heaven"
Jon Weaver, Forum Snowboards European Team Manager
"Mayrhofen's Snowbombing is the best bash in the Alps, a riotous dance and rock festival at 2,000ft"

"The event has at last galvanized into the premier music and snow-sports event."
DJ Magazine
"Method officially LOVES Snowbombing. After being in Austria and being subjected to dodgy euro-techno and live performances from no-name dudes with bad haircuts and no talent all season long, seeing the line-up at Snowbombing is like dangling a glittery disco carrot in front of a starving pack of disco donkeys. Add to a line-up that rivals any festival in the UK, the prospect of empty pistes, epic snow conditions, good vibes and happy people and the Highway to Hell competition in the Vans Park, the only thing you've got left to worry about is packing your party pants."
Method Magazine
"Snowbombing has become a big part of Mayrhofen since a few years now, One week of pure pleasure. Either on the mountain while snowboarding or skiing or partying hard at night. Great snow conditions at the end of March, as the area is known as very snowsecure and a tourist empty skiresort right after the high season is a big plus for the whole event. The Highway to Hell Snowboard contest, one of the funniest contests I have ever seen, will take place in Europe's best Snowpark. The Vans Penken Park offers a few different lines, so while the comp is going on it will be open for the public too. By the way, our team rider Benny Wetscher won last years H2H. It was a big step in his career."

"The home of Austrian Snowboarding."
The Sunday Telegraph
"A superb mixture of high-quality freeride terrain, a welcoming and laid back Tyrolean atmosphere and one of the leading terrain parks in Europe make Mayrhofen a necessity for any avid snowboarder."
The Sunday Telegraph
"Mayrhofen certainly deserves its reputation as one of the most regarded resorts in the world. Oh. and the apres ski's not bad too."

Fall Line Skiing
"Mayrhofen is gaining a reputation for providing quality free riding facilities, including an abundance of good wide open face free riding"
Ridetheworld.com
"Fast becoming one of the central scene locations in Europe..."
Method Magazine
"Some of the best riding in the area. Freestylers have a half pipe and a park, fully loaded with various style jumps and a sound system. While carvers have a mountain that seems to be made for them"
The World Snowboard Guide
"The most improved resort in Europe"
The Good Ski & Snowboard Guide
"The event was surely the best example in the history of 'the board by day beats by night' ethos of Snowbombing"
Clash
"The actuality of the event needs to be seen to be believed - as the chocolate box setting is transformed into Caligua's Rome."
Clash
"Hopes for next year: The world economic misery does not kill this fine jaunt. On this year's evidence, it's got a lot of life in it yet."

IDJ Review 09
?The sheer wanton exuberance of this years clientele is anything to go by, the desire will certainly be there for Snowbombing 2010 to kick just as much arse."
IDJ
"The atmosphere is unique. Days are spent on the slopes and nights in one of the 15 venues dotted around the resort enjoying an international line-up of DJs and bands."
Night Magazine
"There is a real sense of togetherness and you get the impression that while some are here on their maiden voyage, many are returning to old friends."
Night Magazine
"Instead of baby-wipe washes and days cowering in the comedy tent, snowbombers sleep in real beds and spend the daylight hours on the slopes.
The costumes really are something to behold, and the level of dedication given the restrictive baggage allowance is nothing short of madness."
Daily Express
Could well be winter's longest bar crawl
Daily Express
"Those who fall for it return year after year, rallying across Europe in cars, descending en masse at Innsbruck and Munich airports and smiling from ear to ear for six whole days.
Daily Express
To come back to the drab streets of London, packed with frowning faces and an unnerving lack of fancy dress was a shock to the system and an absolute bore. I'm already planning my outfits for next year.
Daily Express
Everyday's a fun day in the Alps; at Snowbombing in Mayrhofen, everyday's a fancy dress, snowball fight, street party then dance till dawn type of fun day, and we're all the more grateful for it.
TRIBE
Start stocking up on sleep now - there's not a minute of Snowbombing to be missed, with raving in the Arctic Disco at 2000ft, entering the Lumberjack Olympics and gawping at the pros in the Highway to Hell comp, maybe not to mention doing a run or two with your mates.
TRIBE
Just smile and stick on a tash, you'll love it.

The Times
"Snowbombing - the climax of the winter's party calendar, the ultimate end-of-term blow-out, and an event that in the 10 years since its inception has grown to be recognised as the Olympics of apres-ski."
Observer - Tom Robbins
"It occurs to me that though the sound and light systems have grown slick and professional, Snowbombing's atmosphere has changed little since that original trip to Risoul. It still feels less like a commercial venture, more like a group of friends coming together to have the time of their lives."
Observer - Tom Robbins
"Cooper brought Snowbombing to Mayrhofen in 2005 and realised he had found the perfect location ... the resort embraces apres-ski with a passion ... And, crucially for such a late event, should there be little snow, it's just a 20-minute, free bus ride up the valley to Hintertux, a glacier ski area with the country's highest lift and guaranteed skiing all summer long."
Observer - Tom Robbins
So what are you waiting for? Grab a beer and find a spot on the dancefloor - theere's room right next to Superman"
TNT
"In 9 years the festival has grown ... but still stays true to its roots."
TNT
"Forget the cheesy 80s pop that passes for apres-ski action in other parts of Europe. Last year's Snowbombing line up included such quality names such as the Whip, Dirty Pretty Things, Foals and the Pigeon Detectives."

IAN ROULLIER - IDJ
