The finale to the successful 2006 event series will also open the door to budding Shaun Whites and Terje’s out there by offering the top two skiers and snowboarders, competing in the quarterpipe Jam, spots to compete in the British Quarterpipe Championships at this year’s Metro Ski & Snowboard Show.

The event will bring the UK’s snowboard and ski elite to Warmwell including favourites for the Big Air titles, 2006 British Snowboard Big Air and Slopestyle Champion Nate Kern, and 2006 British Freeski Slopestyle Champion, Andy Bennett, both certain to put on a show and pull off some sick tricks over the big 8m kicker.
