Race against the British Ski and Snowboard Team

This year’s Metro Ski & Snowboard Show at London Olympia will give visitors a unique opportunity – a chance to race against British Ski and Snowboard Team athletes from the past and present.

SnowsportGB has teamed up with the Ski Club of Great Britain, Metro Ski & Snowboard Show organisers and SEGA to bring the slopes to the show.  Show visitors will be given the opportunity to race against Olympic hopefuls Zoë Gillings and Ski Club of Great Britain sponsored Ed Drake plus many more from the British teams, as well as heroes from the past including Alain Baxter and Graham Bell.

The aim of the initiative is to raise funds for Britain’s future Olympians.  Visitors will be asked to donate £3 for their chance to race against the stars, with the fastest time from each day winning either a Nintendo Wii or Nintendo DS, plus a copy of the game “Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games™”.

This is a fantastic opportunity to race against our wintersport heroes and, in doing so, support the British Ski and Snowboard Teams in their quest for success.  To take part simply visit stand 417 - opposite the Ski Club of Great Britain stand.
