Get behind our
British Olympic and Paralympic Hopefuls
This year, SnowsportGB and Disability Snowsport UK have
teamed up with the Metro Ski & Snowboard Show organisers in a bid to raise
much-needed funds for Britain’s future Olympians.
Visitors to the Show will be given the opportunity to
donate £2 to our British athletes when they purchase their entry tickets online
before the Show. Funds raised will go
towards the athletes’ training and programme costs.
This is an Olympic season and as such, one of the most
important years for our athletes.
Knowing they have the British public behind them will give them
additional drive and determination to succeed.
Both SnowsportGB and Disability Snowsport UK will be
present at the Show so please visit their stands to give your support. This year SnowsportGB has also teamed up
with the Ski Club of Great Britain and SEGA to bring the slopes to the show,
giving visitors the chance to race against British Ski and Snowboard Team
athletes from the past and present! For more information on the British Teams
and their involvement in the Metro Ski & Snowboard Show please visit www.snowsportgb.com or www.disabilitysnowsport.org.uk.
