One of the great things about Snowbombing is that our festival site is a real village with real people living in it: butchers (oh yes!), bakers and, of course, ski stick makers.

Many villagers tell us their favourite guests during the winter season are Snowbombers. They love your dress (non)sense, the colour you bring and the way you act towards them and their home. “They’re crazy!… but they’re nice crazy”, is how one memorably puts it.

So, please keep on keeping on. The respect you show, your manners and your laughter is the reason we keep getting asked back. You’re an amazing asset to have, so thank you in advance for using the bins, not dropping cigarettes on the mountain and the way you interact with the kids who love your fancy dress to the old ladies who you make smile and remember her youth.

Don’t just ‘ave it: bring it, embrace it and love it. Mayrhofen is our home. Welcome back!
