New Venue And Format For 2015 London Ski Show
Login
Details of this year's ski and snowboard shows in London have been published by sponsors The Telegraph.
After many years at Earls Court or London Olympia the show will be moving to a new venue at Battersea Park.
Now down to a four day duration it will also run a week later than last year, from Thursday 5th to Sunday 8th November 2015.
Along with the new venue, new concepts for the show include an outdoor alpine village, comedy from the stars of the Altitude Comedy Festival and the return of international pro-competition 'The London Ride' with a real-snow, 15m high kicker, presented by British Freeski Camps. It will be the first time in four years that such a contest has been staged in London.
"Set within Battersea Evolution, the indoor/outdoor hybrid will allow organisers, Telegraph Events, to create a unique mountain village experience giving exhibitors an optimal environment to promote their resorts, holidays and products," a statement from the organisers reads.
"Visitors will be transported to the mountains as they explore the resort, sampling authentic food, visiting après bars, shopping in the new outdoor village and browsing over 200 top snow sports brands and destinations within the show arena."
Tickets prices have not yet been announced but tickets will go on sale on Friday 7th August from www.skiandsnowboard.co.uk
Hopefully not the French mountains, otherwise they will have to hike the price of the beer by 500% :cry:
Well, Olympia and Earls Court certainly tried their best to give visitors those authentic Three Valleys prices... :evil:
So, those "capped, affordable prices" are out then...

An Adult "Early Bird" (woohoo, get in) is just £21 (inc. booking fee).
Or you can save a whole two pounds by turning up after 5pm.
Er, isn't that more expensive than last year? ...which would make it "capped" to some time in the future???
Yeah, way to go Telegraph; when the ski market desperately needs to encourage newcomers (to replace us jaded old fogies), let's kick start the season with an event where the punters have to pay to get marketed to... :evil:
We'll be expecting "capped to Courchevel" prices for the food and drink then.
Seriously? If I had a pound for every ski business owner whose opening conversation on the first day starts with "I'm glad I got a free ticket"... I could afford to bring the family! :roll:
