Whether you live down south or up north, you can attend one of the outstanding ski and snowboard shows held in the UK. Whether at the Ski and Snowboard Show North in Manchester or the Ski and Snowboard Show in London, you can enjoy a great day out with tons of activities including free ski and snowboard lessons, free ice skating, tubing and curling! There are even après-ski style bars, delicious mountain food to try and wine tasting sessions! The exhibitors are world-wide ski resorts, hotel and chalet companies and tour operators on site to advise you about your next ski holiday. Find out what’s in store at both shows.
The Ski and Snowboard Show in London will take place from the 30th of October to the 3rd of November 2013 at Earls Court 2. You will soon forget that you are in central London as you take free ski and snowboard lessons, watch spectacular freestyle demos and have a drink in an après-ski style bar at the Norway Resorts bar!
If you’ve never put skis on before but would like to have a go, there will be fully-trained instructors from The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead on site to show you the basics during free 30 minute taster sessions - a great way to get the hang of things before heading up the mountains for first ski holiday. For those looking to brush up their skills, after having been on a ski holiday 3 or 4 times, The Warren Smith Ski Academy will have instructors on site giving free 1 hour lessons packed with tips and advice! They will also have instructors ready to advise those wanting to have a go at freestyle skiing. If snowboarding is your thing, then the Onyx Snowboard School will be at the show to help you out with tips and tricks. And yes, these 1 hour lessons are completely free too!
If you fancy taking a break from all the exertion of walking around the show and taking free ski and snowboard lessons, then why not book a wine tasting session. You will spend an hour tasting wines from around the world hosted and introduced by an expert wine buyer from Virgin Wines. All you need to do to take part is book a place for £10 when booking your entry ticket – this includes your 6 tasters and a goody bag to take home with you! Once again, there will be limited spaces available so pre-booking is advised to avoid disappointment.
Take note of opening times as they vary each day:
Below are ticket prices when booking in advance on line:
The brand new Ski and Snowboard Show North, which includes the former InTheSnow Live show and is sponsored by Monarch airlines, will take place at EventCity in Manchester from the 25th to the 27th of October 2013. There will be over 150 stands held by ski resorts from around the world, chalet companies and tour operators all keen to help you prepare yourself for the season ahead.
Take advantage of great value ski and snowboard lessons with the event’s partner Chill Factor on the real snow ski slope at their centre just around the corner from EventCity! You and your kids (as young as 4 years old) can have a go on skis for the first time with the taster sessions or if you’re already a pro, you can polish up your skiing or snowboarding skills with some advanced coaching. There will be free shuttle buses running between the two venues and all necessary equipment will be provided free of charge. As these lessons take place at the Chill Factor centre itself, there is a small charge that starts from just £5 for a 25 minute session – that’s certainly not going to break the bank! Spaces are obviously limited and are sure to fill up quickly at this price so think about booking your lessons when you buy your standard entry ticket online.
At both shows there will be a children’s slide for those little visitors with plenty of energy and mountain talks theatre with tons of insider info from top ski and snowboard personalities, as well as talks on everything from safety in the mountains to where the best nightlife can be found in the top ski resorts. And not forgetting, of course, that on top of all this, there will be 20,000 free ski lift passes waiting to be claimed at top ski resorts such as Chamonix, The Three Valleys ski area resorts and Serre Chevalier in the Southern Alps. You simply apply for your free ski pass in the ski resort of your choice when booking your tickets in advance on line. Nothing could be simpler!
*Concession rates apply to students with a valid NUS card, over 60s and visitors with disabilities (who can bring a carer with them for no extra charge).

Being lucky enough to have parents who were crazy about skiing, my love for the mountains started when I was 4 years old on our first family ski holiday to Austrian ski resort of Obergurl. One ski holiday a year was never enough and tears rolled down my face as I looked out the back window of the car on the drive down the valley on the way home!
