Big Bang Tour
The Big Bang Tour is back for 2011, touring three of the UK's snowdomes and offering FREE* snowboard coaching programmes, with One Snowboarding, Roxy, TSA and Snowboardcoach.co.uk at the helm. They have also promised to have the UK’s largest snowboard demo fleet, a new seminar programme, on the day discounts as well as special guest coaches.
On the first three weekends in October, Big Bang will be offering free freestyle coaching sessions. All you have to do is pay the discounted slope pass fee, and you’re away! Dates are as follows:
Pre-booking for freestyle coaching is strongly recommended, but spaces may be available on the day. Snowboardcoach.co.uk and One Snowboarding will both be there to pass on the knowledge, and there’s a Roxy session (just for women) from 3pm-5pm at each session.
The Big Bang Snowboard Show gives you a full day’s worth of activities, you can do some riding, attend a few seminars and pick up some riding tips from the UK’s best riders and coaches. Everything at the show is FREE OF CHARGE* the only thing you need to do is pay for is some slope time. You can pre-book slots on the coaching sessions by calling the SnowDome on 08448 000011.
