Summer is finally over which marks one of our favourite times of the year – the countdown to ski season. If you’re lucky enough to be in London this is when the ski and snowboard films start premiering around the city and you can meet up with all your ski buddies and start drinking like it’s après o’clock in the Alps. It’s still 2 month until many of us can head to the mountains for our first shred of winter, so how do you pass the time?
London Freeski Film Festival is back for it’s 3rd year and here to help you kick start your winter season in style. This year promises even more films, more stalls selling the latest gear, plus lots of prizes to giveaway.
On Thursday 23rd October you can catch this year’s best new ski films featuring your favourite riders on two planks. Whether you’re into your gnarly jibbing or throwing down big mountain, there’s something for everyone.
