In an attempt to harness the success of the BRITS festival (Swiss Alps) that stages all Championship disciplines at one big event and attracts hundreds of competitors, organisers have copied the blueprint to create the first ever British Dryslope Championships of its kind at Norfolk Snowsports Centre. To steal back to the days of yore when folk would descend upon the local dryslope events in their droves armed for a festival, organisers are encouraging the masses to pitch up at the local campsite and get ready for a full weekend of world-class freestyle, So, tent pegs and Alka Seltzer at the ready and we’ll see you in Norfolk!

The British Snow Tour isn’t all about competition. The inspirational schools tour programme which runs alongside the Snow Tour will continue to spread the word about skiing and snowboarding to over 10,000 kids, in Norfolk, Milton Keynes, Glasgow and Castleford. James Thorne, Paddy Graham, Becky Hammond and Pat Sharples will be heading back to school when they visit two local Norfolk secondary schools before the event to spread the word and dish out 200 FREE beginner lessons.
