You guys know what a Ski and Snowboard show looks like. It’s a gigantic, multi-purpose conference space, filled with a gazillion stalls, designed to get you excited about the season and buying a tad more swag than you actually need. And yet we sign up for them very year cause, you know… shiny new stuff.

If you’d like to join us in our wide-eyed pursuit, then you can now purchase tickets for The Telegraph’s Ski and Snowboard Show, in either London or Manchester, via this link. The Manchester event will take place from 24-26 October in EventCity (adult tickets £10), and London’s Earl’s Court will be open to all those of an icy disposition from 30 October – 2 November  (adult tickets £12).

In addition to shopping stalls, there will also be fun stuff like Virgin-sponsored wine-tasting sessions and a kid’s snow park with tubing. We promise we haven’t mentioned those two activities beside each other for any reason. We are not encouraging you to get drunk and invade the children’s snow area. At all.

You can watch a sample of last year’s festivities below.
