Snowsport England have announced they will run a series of ‘Slide2Sochi’ roadshows in conjunction with 23 indoor and artificial snow slopes this autumn and winter in a bid to inspire more people to engage with skiing and snowboarding and get behind Great Britain’s wintersports athletes ahead of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi next year.

Highlights include a three day Slide2Sochi roadshow at the Chill Factore on 27^th, 28^th and 29^th September where members of the GB ski team will be present, an appearance by GB skier Chemmy Alcott at the Slide2Sochi roadshow on 6^th October at Skiplex in Reading and a soon to be announced celebrity appearance at the Slide2Sochi roadshow at SNOzone, Milton Keynes on 5^th October.

CEO of Snowsport England, Tim Fawke, said of the announcement: “We want to make sure that no opportunity is missed to capitalise on the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. To complement our GO SKI GO BOARD campaign we are running a fun and interactive set of roadshows which will get people excited and engaged with both snowsports and with our athletes ahead of Sochi 2014. Each Slide2Sochi roadshow will offer something different, depending on the slope, but all will get people involved and will offer the chance to sign up for a GO SKI GO BOARD course.”

Full dates and locations of the Slide2Sochi roadshows can be found below.
