British Indoor Slopestyle Championships 2008

20 September 08

The first event in the tour that moves into the fridges

Snozone Castleford, United Kingdom
It's not cheap, but it is year-round snow with good instructors and good freestyle options.
Freeriding: 15% - OK for stretching your legs, but no more
Freestyle: 80% - Good jibs & coaching, one off big parks
Pistes: 25% - Good option for learning, but pricey
