Snowsport England’s initiative to get more people involved in winter activities is set to take place from October 1 until 30, it has been announced. 

The scheme "30 Days of Snowsport" is aimed at giving people the opportunity to try snowsports or get their ski legs back for free or at discounted prices at venues across the United Kingdom. 

Activities will be on offer throughout the month at indoor ski centres, dry slopes, snowsports clubs and roller ski venues. 

In 2017, 30 Days of Snowsport saw over 6,000 people take advantage of 98 free or discounted sessions at 20 different venues or clubs. 

It is hoped even more people will get involved in 2018, with the campaign growing in numbers year on year since it started in 2014.

For complete beginners there are ski and snowboard beginner and taster sessions throughout October at the Chill Factore in Manchester, "Learn to Ski & Snowboard" sessions at SnowDome in Tamworth every day of the month, a free taster day at the North Staffordshire Ski Club on October 13 and "Try Roller Skiing" days at Dorney Lake in Eton on October 14.


There is also an open session at the Manchester Cross Country Ski Club on October 20  and roller skiing sessions in West Yorkshire throughout October.  

There are open ski sessions at Chatham Ski and Snowboard Centre on October 20 and 21 and taster and open sessions at Kendal Ski Club throughout the month. 

As well as taster sessions, 30 Days of Snowsport events include open days, races, competitions and freestyle events. 

On October 6, there is the Futures Project at Kendal Ski Club, a day run by the GB Park & Pipe team aimed at aspiring freestyle skiers and snowboarders.
