What is SnowCode ? - Open coding and "attendee planned unconference" sessions, held at a ski resort, covering various Node and Javascript topics. Exact topics and session topics are selected by all attendees during the first evening planning session ala un-conference and open-space-coding style of intense "fun/learning" conferencing. Based on previous snowcode events and trending user group topics, we expect topics to be similar to Node.Js libraries ,Reactive extensions, underscore.js, Oauth / OpenId, CoffeeScript, backbone.js, Knockout + many more Jquery and javascript libraries and frameworks, Node and Javascript MVC libraries,Express,Mongo DB with Node, Javascript test driven development libraries, plus plenty more...
One of the best Ski and Snowboard schools europe is right next door, and we have arranged an excellent deal for Snowcode attendees who want to learn to ski or snowboard during SnowCode!
SnowCode is a unique developer conference with six jam packed exhilarating days and nights of hardcore snowboarding & hands on coding sessions with excellent attendees, so expect much, much more! Because the sessions are attendee selected and run, and session sizes are small (between 3 and 5 people) you work on code and skills you can take home with you and immediately put into practice!
No fixed speakers or agenda, following unconference and opencoding principles. Final list of sessions will be selected by attendees on the first night, however discussions online on twitter (#snowcode) about possible sessions are encouraged and will help you ensure your laptop is all setup ready for action, either for learning or sharing with others.
Places will be very limited (max 16 people for this year's snowcode) so get ready to place your booking!
This is a completely 100% free conference: The money you pay goes directly to Rude Chalets, and covers Accommodation, Food and airport transfers. (excludes flights!)

The Venue: Chalet Joseph, Rude Chalets
Chalet Joseph is located right in the centre of Morzine very close to the tourist information office and a large selection of après ski bars and restaurants. It is only 100m from the Super Morzine lift (which gives direct access to the high altitude ski area of Avoriaz) and 300m from the Pleney lift (which gives direct access to the Morzine-Les Gets ski area).
Sponsors - not a complete list ( watch this space )
Cloud9 are sponsoring one year of their completely awesome premium hosting, (your code anywhere), worth $180 to every SnowCode attendee! (W00t, thank you Cloud9 you guys rock!) Cloud 9 provide an "in the cloud" IDE ...complete development environment! yes... you read that right!
If you spot any errors in this listing, please let me know. cheers, Alan

Partners are welcome to join us at SnowCode. Checkout the photographs from previous snowcode events to see that while it's intense coding, there's a good mix of social, apre-ski, coding and snow ;-D

Michael, can you remember if the fooseball table at Chalet Joseph has a proper solid ball? There's a table in a pub in Les Gets that has a soft ball that I remember and the game is not fun without the "thunk" of a solid ball! (has to make a noise)

Great to see the places filling up. For any London based people I am getting the 7am flight from LHR and then returning on the 12pm flight to City.
Anybody joining have a GoPro camera they will be bringing?
Posted February 7 at 12:38 PM -

No gopro but will be bringing my contour hd cam which is similar. Not sure if I want to use it as my last vid clip saw me wipe out a 5 year old and then the resultant snowboarder/angry mother dialogue was recorded for posterity :s

Hi Ben, I'm bringing with the GoPro that Icodeon sponsored us with for a prev snowcode It's specifically for attendees to play with ;-P Quite indestructable, surviving @serialseb's dropping it off a chair lift! (Seb also wanted 2 test it's "waterproofness" in the hot tub! hmm) We have the helmet mount as well as a snowboard mount. Icodeon are sponsoring Snowcode again this year...will be announcing the sponsorship info shortly... Icodeon rocks! (sweeet!)

Flight booked! Wonder if it's worth buying any kit, like my own board boots, or a contourHD with the GPS - could use it for cycling too ;)
