The Ski & Snowboard Show London (30th Oct - 3rd Nov)
by Jacob Banfield It is that time of year again, the clocks have gone back and as far as we are concerned in the office, it is now winter. The Ski and Snowboard Show marks the start of the season for most, with hundreds of retailers, travels operators and big snowsports brands descending upon West London this week to show off all of their new shiny toys to the public... And we absolutely love it. It gives us a chance to go and check out all of the new gear, speak to the manufacturers directly and most importantly report back to you about the stand out pieces at the show. This year the show offers and abundance of snow themed activities including ice skating, curling, ski or snowboard lessons and a variety of alpine themed bars dotted around the venue.
One of the big attractions for visiting the show this year is the huge lift pass giveaway available to all adult ticket holders. Damian Norman, Managing Director of VOS Media who organise the show, is very excited about this year's promotion. "It's the biggest lift pass giveaway we've done so far, and the standard of resorts involved this year is exceptional. As the country comes out of recession, holidays are back on the agenda for many families, but bank balances are still tight - So our mission is to help lower the cost of a typical snowsports trip. We really feel it will go a long way to making skiing and snowboarding more accessible for the British public". The lift passes available cover a selection of the world's best loved resorts, including Chamonix, Les 3 Vallées, Norway, Verbier, Aosta Valley, Serre Chevalier, Tirol and Sierra Nevada. Most are offering a free one day lift pass, with Les 3 Vallées offering 6 days skiing for the price of 4. The lift passes can be added to orders in the ticket booking process – one per adult ticket booked – and collected from the resorts’ stand at the relevant show. We'll be blogging from the show from Wednesday onwards, we update this page with everything that is worth seeing and hopefully we'll be able to secure our fans some sweet deals.
