The Telegraph Ski & Snowboard Show opened its doors yesterday at Earl's Court to a crowd of visitors eager to check out the activity, events and exhibitors.
There is plenty for the alpine fans to see with Head, Atomic and Rossignol all with stands at the show plus ... Max Baggio, Darcie Mead, Chemmy Alcott as well as Ski Cross athletes Ed Drake, Emily Sarsfield and Pam Thorburn all spending time at the British Ski and Snowboard stand. With ex racers Martin Bell and Finlay Mickel also around, there is a good feeling to the start of the season! Telemark had good representation as did the Disability Team with Tim Farr also at the show.
To give added spice to the Team BSS stand, many of the alpine and freestyle athletes attending have had to take park in a fitness test that has been set by the fitness gurus from the BSS. This is all part of their being part of the Team BSS. Even the CEO of Snowsport England took part in the standing jump, as did the editor of Racer Ready. We obviously cannot say who jumped further out of these two or whether either beat a current GB Team athlete!
The Animal WD-40 Action Sports Tour attracted a crowd to watch World Champion Trials rider Ben Savage and other exciting jump riders from MTB, Scooter and BMX!
Not your typical fashion show, the on slope stage exploded with professional break dancers decked out in the hottest winter sports looks whilst the kids were speechless after a performance by a Frozen live show.
The Mountain Talks Theatre was a packed house welcoming the cast of Frozen along with British athletes Aimee Fuller, Jamie Nicholls, James Machon, Ben Kilner, Rowan Cheshire, Chemmy Alcott and Murray Buchan to talk about the Sochi experience!
Come down to the Ski & Snowboard Show London this weekend (31st - 2nd) for more exciting performances and activities! Plan your ski season, get fitted for kit from the best ski and snow brands, learn tips from professionals and meet some of Britain's top athletes.

TOP THINGS TO DO THIS WEEKEND AT THE SHOW:Â
Be a witness at a wedding ceremonyÂ
At 2.45pm on Saturday join a host of attendees at The Ski & Snowboard Show to witness one lucky couple re-do their vows.
Earlier this year, Tim and Julie celebrated their marriage with a very personal ceremony, surrounded by their closest family and friends, in beautiful Morzine. Totally in love with Morzine, the mountains and each other, they loved having the opportunity to celebrate in exactly the way they wanted and had set their hearts on. And they are so excited to be able to do it all over again! Mr and Mrs Wells will be reaffirming their promises to one another, celebrating their marriage and the commitment they have made, during a ceremony written especially for them at the London Ski and Snowboard Show on Saturday 1st November.  Visit the Morzine Village to attend.
