Snowsport England has launched a new initiative named ‘30 Days of Snowsport’ which runs at dry slopes and indoor snow centres nationwide and online. The aim, the organisation says, is to celebrate the start of the winter season and get people excited about snowsports and giving people a taste of skiing and snowboarding, with 30 days of skiing and snowboarding activities both at slopes in England and online via competitions and social media promotions between September 12th and November 16th 2014. Events will include fun days of snow activities and entertainment, days featuring GB skiers and snowboarders, taster sessions for non-skiers/boarders, or try-something-different opportunities for existing skiers/boarders as well as elite level competitions and freestyle nights. Online at www.goskigoaboard.org.uk there will be the chance to watch snowsports videos and edits from Sochi heroes, as well as special offers from Snowsport England partners and competitions to win skiing and snowboarding prizes. All 30 Days of Snowsport online activities will run on “After the success of the ‘Slide2Sochi’ roadshow last year, we wanted to continue to engage people at local slopes with fun, welcoming days which would attract people into finding out what snowsports is all about,” said Tim Fawke, Chief Executive of Snowsport England. 30 Days of Snowsport will begin on 12th September at Chill Factore with the FIS Moguls event and run throughout the autumn and early winter.
