Let it Snow (Up)
This will be the fifth years that Fabien Chrinstensen of Pixmil will host a MODX Snowup in a 100 year old guest house located at a ski resort in Engelberg, Switzerland.
Expect amazing skiing and snowboarding in the Swiss Alps, epic views, tons of fun, and a fair bit of hacking on and learning about MODX Revolution. There are beds available in the guest house for ~40 Euros/night, or you can opt for more modern accommodations at the ski resort. Up to 25 people can cook, eat, drink, laugh and learn together at the Gasthaus Grünenwald.
