never been but looks amazing. if you're into snow sports, music and partying and can afford it!
i went snowboarding for the first time last month. brilliant, very exhilarating but punishing on the body when you're learning. if i'm lucky i'll get to try it again

It would be good if thats your sort of thing.
My priority when going on a snowboard holiday is snowboarding first, nightlife after.
You can have a good night with your mates in pretty much any resort.
Not that they choose bad resorts, just that its almost guarenteed to be busy and prices are probably much higher than usual.
Go for a normal snowboarding holiday and put the money saved towards going to a music festival in the summer. Best of both worlds.
Oh, and good luck if your going by coach. I'v done that, Glasgow -> Val Thorens, 28 hours, horrific

Bah. I thought it was going to be jumping into 50 ft snowdrifts in a bomb.
I am disappoint. It's some grotty festival.

They often hold it in Mayrhofen, which is a great resort.
I've never been to Snowbombing, but the general impression I get and from the coverage I've seen, it's more for people who are into partying, the Skiing/Snowboarding comes second to it. There are many who don't even do it, or have little experience.
It's more for the same crowd which might party all night and then sleep it off under the sun in Ibiza. The trouble in a ski resort is that you are doing an active sport, it's tiring enough without all the drinking and hangovers!

It's enough of a thrill just heading up to Val Thorens and heading over to Le Folie Douce on an afternoon on the slopes.
Epic party atmosphere, great live sets, and snowsports
Just got back from a week.

Ive just got back from two weeks in Val D they have a Folie Douce amazing atmosphere
I've looked at doing snowbombing before, it is over priced and guaranteed to be busy. As has been said, go on a normal ski holiday with your mates, then put the money saved towards a festival, even if Glastonbury isn't on this year
