\"winter<\/p>\n

For us in the northern hemisphere, the cooler mornings mean winter\u2019s right around the corner. Every year at this time, I\u2019m bombarded with visions of chest deep powder runs through Rocky Mountain champaign, followed quickly by apr\u00e8s beers turned all night jam fests. Needless to say, I couldn\u2019t be more excited to share this Times <\/a>article outlining the top ten winter parties around the world.<\/p>\n

Party hopping can get tricky, though. How do you choose between a three day comedy festival in the Alps, igloo raves, and hanging out with up and coming rock stars? Decisions, decisions.<\/p>\n

Given the choice, I would most likely end up at the \u201cgreatest show on snow,\u201d the Snowbombing festival in Mayrhofen, Austria. According to its website<\/a>, Snowbombing is an, \u201cexhilarating week-long whirlwind of momentous moments in mythical fairy-tale venues, delivered by a blizzard of brilliant bands.\u201d A music festival and winter sports in the Alps\u2026 I\u2019m sold.<\/p>\n

Sadly enough, the \u201cmomentous moment\u201d that didn\u2019t make the list, was my backyard grill on the last day of the ski season. Perhaps next year.<\/p>\n
