The Ski and Snowboard Show descends on London’s Olympia between 20th - 24th October and will be packed full of new and interactive winter sports features. This year the revamped show returns with two exciting new partners ready to hit the slopes - The Independent and The Evening Standard.

ALL NEW – Land Rover Mountain Theatre: Sir Ranulph Fiennes tops the bill in a series of awe-inspiring seminars in the brand new Land Rover Mountain Theatre*. In addition to talks from the world’s most daring explorer, a host of winter sports enthusiasts and outdoor pursuit legends will take to the stage to relive their most challenging alpine achievements.

ALL NEW – Land Rover Ice Driving Experience: Bringing motoring to the mountains, the exhilarating Land Rover Ice Driving Experience offers visitors the chance to test out the handling of these 4x4 vehicles over a variety of terrains, including a purpose-built 30m ice road outside the show! The experience also provides the opportunity to navigate a ‘Terrapod’ at different heights, angles and gradients.

ALL NEW – Aosta Valley VIP Lounge: 500 VIP tickets will be on sale entitling visitors with access to the Aosta Valley VIP Lounge where you can sample delicious food and drink from the mountain region, claim a reserved front row seat to the Land Rover Mountain Theatre and leave with a bag stuffed with winter sports goodies.
