Witness the world's best snowboarders and skiers at the ultimate one day celebration of everything you love about the mountains!
Jenny Jones; official event ambassador presents Freeze Big Air, featuring the FIS Snowboard World Cup and International Ski Invitational in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on Saturday 14th November.
It might be the height of summer, but this announcement means the countdown to winter has officially begun. The Freeze Big Air event will see over 60 of the world’s best male and female snowboarders and skiers descend on the capital’s iconic venue to take on a huge real snow jump measuring 120m x 41m - that’s 15 metres longer than the Wembley Stadium pitch - created out of 360 tonnes of snow.
With British Olympian Jamie Nicholls competing alongside a field of world-class snowboarders and skiers, Freeze Big Air will bring together the most-talented snowboard and ski athletes in the world to compete on British soil. And, with Snowboard Big Air now set to be an official Olympic event, Jenny Jones is confident that Freeze Big Air will become one of the most important annual Olympic Big Air qualifiers on the calendar in the lead up to the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea. “The news that Snowboard Big Air will be an Olympic discipline in 2018 is huge for British snowboarding and skiing” said Jenny. “British riders like Billy Morgan and Katie Ormerod are real medal prospects in 2018. And the fact that we’ll be able to see the best riders in the world battling it out in the middle of London will be an amazing start to each winter. I can’t wait!”
