Family fun at the Ski and Snowboard Show

The Ski and Snowboard Show returns to London Olympia this year (20 - 24 October) with a host of new and exciting features for the whole family.

Brand new for 2010 is the Mountain Theatre, with talks from legendary alpine explorers such as Sir Ranulph Fiennes. There’s also an exhilarating Land Rover Ice Driving Experience where visitors can test out 4X4 vehicles over challenging terrains.

The centre piece to this year’s show is the 50ft kicker which will play host to the London Ride and British Snow Tour Invitational Championship where Europe’s finest freestyle skiers and snowboarders will catch some seriously big air as they pull of jaw dropping tricks.

Popular features such as the Destination Quebec Husky Lodge also return with everyone’s favourite furry friends the husky dogs – don’t let the kids leave without a free photograph!

After a long day, visitors can take a break and enjoy live acoustic music and a mini chef’s kitchen at Les 3 Vallees Resort and Whistler Après Ski Bars or get the low down on the latest winter trends in the Fashion arena.

There really is something for everyone this year, so whether you’re a St Moritz seasonaire, a Val d'Isere virgin, or just looking for an exciting family day out, make sure you get a piste of the action at the 2010 Ski and Snowboard Show.
