Same venue as last year but it will taking up the whole of both floors for the first time.

There will be a 40ft kicker this year on the main slope, and will play host to the London Ride and the British Snow Tour Invitational Championship with top British and International athletes competing throughout the week

As always with the Metro Ski and Snowboard Show we aim to encourage visitors to return year on year by providing new and exciting features within the show experience and in 2008 we believe there is more to do than ever.
