Rossendale 2005

The Orange AIM Series is visiting Ski Rossendale for the first time as the British Artificial Boarder Championships 2005 takes place, 17 – 18 September. As some of UK’s top dryslope riders prepare their boards and skis for the head to head battle, the nursery slope is getting ready for the 200 FREE public beginner lessons.


Mollie Percival going big

Competing against the clock fellow opponent’s skiers and snowboarders will race in heats of four down a challenging course, maintaining control and strength over bumps, tight turns, rollers and jumps. The, for the event, purpose built course will test reactions of the most competent of competitors. A more relaxed Big Air competition will follow where it is all about flying high with style.

As the home of some of UK’s snowboard pioneers such as Steve Bailey and Stuart Brass, Ski Rossendale has a thriving freestyle scene. More recent stars are Mollie Percival from Bury, who took second place in both Big Air and Slopestyle at this year’s British Championships and Colum Mytton, Todmorden, is one of the up and coming snowboarders boasting with talent.
