first time in the U.K.
The event celebrates the stars of the FIS Skiing and Snowboarding World Cup, and

Nick Fellows presents this exciting event and Richard Cobbing commentates as
skiing and snowboarding stars participate alongside fans in events such as
parallel giant slalom, skier cross and speed ski tests.
