Snowboxx offers an impressive line-up of DJs and artists mainly from the electronic, house, techno, drum n bass, and dance scene, but also covers multi-genre performances.

Avoriaz is completely unique because it is one of only a handful of completely ski in/ ski out resorts. For a ski and snowboard festival, this is a huge bonus and sets Snowboxx apart from the rest of the snow festivals out there.

Avoriaz is one of the major French ski destinations catering to all standards of skiing and ranks among the top snowboarding destinations of the world. During the summer Avoriaz is also a centre for trekking, golf, VTT (mountain biking) and other outdoor activities.

It features a large open-air arena right near the slopes showcasing live acts, parties and lots of entertainment which is perfect for Snowboxx.

Avoriaz has a great range of accommodation options between Pierre & Vacances and Avoriaz Holidays. All the accommodation are within walking distance of the festival activities which makes the experience that much more intimate and unique.

You can get a nice faux fur coat made in China for under $100 on Amazon. But there is no guarantee how well it will fit and how long it will last. It also won't have multiple pockets and other design features that a more expensive faux fur coat will have. If you are looking for fast disposible fashion you can buy a cheap nice faux fur coat but it you want a quality faux fur coat that will last and be eco friendly a more expensive coat is the better option in the long run.

A well made faux fur coat is better than a vintage real fur coat for Snowboxx Festival because it is not only animal free but also more comfortable, durable, and fucntional. With advanced fabric technology high quality faux fur can be as warm as real fur. Today it is doubtful that a vintage real fur coat will fit as well as a faux fur coat made today. A vintage fur coat will not have as many pockets as a new faux fur coat. Many vintage real fur coats have lost durabilty over time and will not hold up as well as a quality faux fur coat.

Yes, a faux fur coat is warm enough for Snowboxx Festival. With cold winds and temperatures dropping into the teens to the 30F at night, its essential to have a warm and cozy faux fur coat for outside festivals.

Faux Fur coats are the not only the fashionable thing to wear at Snowboxx but also an essential item to wear to survive cold winter nights. With so many options in faux fur coats today you can express your persoanl style on the slopes with a fashionable faux fur coat.

The most important thing to look for in a faux fur coat for festivals is quality, durability, fit, and feel. There are a few things to think about when deciding on which faux fur coat to buy for Snowboxx. 1. The Fit. You need to make sure the coat is comfortable, feels cozy, and fits over what you plan to wear under it. 2. The Fur. How thick do you need the fur to be? How cold do you get? 3. The style. Do you want a hood? A collar? or perhaps a zip off hood. 4. The Length. Do you want the coat short? mid thigh? knee lenth? or to the ground?

The cold temperatures in the French Alps make it the perfect place to wear faux fur coats. People in France have been know to wear real fur. Only in recent years have faux fur coats become more accepted in this town as many top designers have stopped using real fur.

So many festival goers wear faux fur coats because most importantly they are warm, cozy, and comfortable. They are also love faux fur coats as a way to express their own unique persoanl style.

The style of the faux fur coat a person needs for Snowboxx depends on that individual's needs and personal taste. For example many guys run hot and don't need the same type of faux fur coat a female who gets cold very easily will need. A faux fur vest is often the best solution for men that run hot. There are also different thicknesses/ warmth levels of faux fur to consider as well as different lengths of faux fur coats ranging, from waist lenth to floor length.

Quality faux fur coats are made to be worn and with stand any harsh environments. Dry cleaning your coat at a reputable cleaner after wearing it at a weekend festival will result in your coat looking like new again. Standard dirt and dust will completly dissolve in the dry cleaning process. Cheap poor quality faux fur coats will just not look as good after a week of wear and tear.
