Attached are details of the SSE AGM to be held on Saturday 29th June.

If you would like to help shape the future of Alpine racing in the UK why not apply for the vacancy on ASC.

We recently came across the excellent promotion from last season that was too good not to share. Back in February, Crested Butte decided to try something different (admittedly for the third year in a row) for Valentine’s Day – chairlift speed dating! Join the ‘Twister of Love’ Taking place on the Saturday after Valentine’s, the ‘Twister of Love’ offered a ‘second chance at love’.  Singles looking for a love connection were directed to the Twister chair lift where they had a chance to share with like-minded skiers and snowboarders. Those looking to attend were invited to contact ‘Lacey The Love Doctor’ for more information.

Hands up who’s coming to Snowbombing 2014?

There’s white smoke billowing from the Snowbombing office and we have taken in all the questions, requests, demands and cries from the ‘bombing contingent…and we can reveal that Snowbombing 2014 will be launched in JULY (so put your deposit aside now to grab the most pimpiest bed in town!)…with the rest of the juicy info coming soon after that!

We understand that a lot of people are chomping at the bit to get going with planning the next holiday of a lifetime, and we’ll keep you updated at every turn! We do know Snowbombing 2014 will be our best event ever. How do we know this? Well because EVERY year we always manage to eclipse all previous ones. After a breahtless 2011 headlined by The Prodigy and an anarchic 2012 event topped by Dizzee Rascal, we topped our own summit with the capture of Kasabian to headline the Forest Finale this April.

Look forward to more parties in paradise in 2014! It’s what keeps us going…and maybe why Snowbombers return year after year. We thrive off the support provided by every Snowbombomber, be they a first timer or seasoned pro with 5 years of Mayrhofen under their belt. Your antics on the piste, your lovingly made fancy dress costumes and your endless stomping in our venues keeps the festival going and we can’t wait to create more fantastic memories with you lot. Which superstars are you gonna come face to face with in 2014??

Watch this space for some really BIG news in July. Or sign up for our launch newsletter here and receive priority booking info!

There are spaces on the workshop for Introduction to Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD) This practical workshop explores the concepts of Agility, Balance and Co-ordination and speed (the ABC's) Click here for further details

The ‘World’s Greatest Show on Snow’, Snowbombing and the World’s greatest music channel, MTV is a partnership forged high in the Austrian alps, and nurtured on sublime snow, (ice)block-rockin beats…and Pork rolls!

The MTV cameras were at this spring’s Snowbombing in Mayrhofen, Austria and captured it all – from KASABIAN and RUDIMENTAL tearing up the Forest party to EXAMPLE and DISCLOSURE’S awesome tree-mendous live open-air shows.

The Kasabian Live show will be unmissable viewing on MTV

In a move which is unparalleled for Snowbombing, the results will be broadcast ‘in parallel’ across BOTH channels.

MTV @ Snowbombing 2013 will feature six stupendous shows on both MTV Music (Sky Channel 125) and MTV Live (Sky channel 126) this Saturday 11th May.

Highlights are sure to include a ‘Best Bits’ & ‘Top 100 Moments’ episode (Mardi Gras jugglers vs David Rodigan, Hans the Butcher on stage with Austrian Filter House)…unmissable.

This Saturday either stay in  throw a Snowbombing re-union house party or programme your Sky + box or Virgin Box for some premium festival telly-plus to try and spot yourself amongst the crowds!

See our graphic at the top of the blog to see which shows are on and when.

Snowbombing in parallel on MTV…unparalleled!

 

Now the snow is melting, the ski’s are back in the attic and Hans the Butcher is packing his Speedo’s for the Bavarian version of Butlins, we can smell the UK festival season coming nearer and nearer. One of our undisputed favourites is the Parklife Weekender. This year the Parklife gang (backed by Manchester club kings Warehouse Project) are taking the end of term rave-off up a notch by relocating the action to Heaton Park, a mammoth spot on the edge of Manchester!

Parklife 2012

With a lineup that encompasses the biggest names in Pop, Electronica and Dance with the likes of Example, TNGHT, Hot Natured Live, The Maccabees, Plan B and pretty much every DJ woth his salt, we are getting psyched for the weekend of 8th and 9th June already.

The 2013 line-up

Last remaining tickets are still available but we have an opportunity for one lucky goon to grab 2 VIP Weekend tickets! To be in with a chance of parading around Heaton Park like a local celebrity (Man Utd player or Hollyoaks actor-take ya pick!) then answer  this simple question:

Q. Which act, appearing at Parklife 2013, is comprised of the two solo producers Hudson Mohawke & Lunice?
