British Ski and Snowboard at the Ski and Snowboard Show in Earls Court
This autumn our British Ski and Snowboard athletes will descend on the Ski and Snowboard Show in Earls Court, London from Thursday 30th October to Sunday 2nd November.
If you are heading down to the show, come and visit the BSS stand in the Drop In area, where you can meet the athletes and see how you fair against them in our ‘Challenge a BSS athlete’ fitness tests run by BSS Strength and Conditioning Coach John Noonan. You will then have the chance to challenge the athletes, with results from each test recorded on a leader board for all to see.
Athletes from Park and Pipe, Ski Cross and Alpine disciplines will be taking a short break from training to attend the show. As well as ‘Challenge a BSS athlete’, the athletes will be involved in daily Q&A’s in the Mountain Talk Theatre, starting with ‘The Sochi Experience’ at 6.30pm on Thursday 30th October (see full list of Q+A sessions below). You will have the chance to hear first-hand from Sochi 2014 Olympians and promising British athletes about their experiences and plans for the upcoming season. Ahead of each talk you will also get the chance to watch an inspiring video which involves some big names of the sport, including Chemmy Alcott and Jenny Jones, talking about what inspired them to get into snowsports, brought to you by BSS and their Principal Sponsor Delancey.
