At the weekend, The London Ride will be showcasing the world's top ten freestyle skiers. Battling it out for the 2005 title and prize money will be Verbier Ride 2005 Champion Jean-Laurent Ratchel, the recent winner of the Oz X-games Slopestyle, Flo Wieser and the UK's star skier Mikey Wakefield.
Beginners are not forgotten with free skiing and snowboard lessons available on the teaching slope. Helpful, professional instructors will be on hand throughout the day to help novices of all ages brush up on their skills before hitting the slopes this winter.
