The BRITS Invitational Championships is set to storm The Ski & Snowboard Show, Earls Court, London on Friday 21st October. This year, twenty four of the UK’s freestyle elite will raise the roof as they go head-to-head on the massive hip kicker in this knock-out eliminator.

The action will get underway at 2.30pm when the freeskiing talent battle it out in the qualification round. At 4.30pm some of the UK’s finest snowboarders will take to the air in a bid to make it through to the finals at 6.30pm.

The finals will see the top eight snowboarders and eight skiers going head-to-head in a bid to claim the title of The BRITS Invitational Champion as presented by Protest and Trespass and bag themselves a seven night holiday at Chalet Montana courtesy of PRG Ski.

As soon as the medals have been awarded and champagne dispatched, the party kicks off at the first of two BRITS Warm-Up Sessions. The Apres Session is fronted by a live performance from the insanely good beat-box and guitar collective, Duke who have supported Amy Winehouse and graced the stages of the UK’s biggest festivals including Leeds and Lovebox. Show organizers are offering an après-ticket for just £6 which gives you entrance to the show from 5pm. But the party doesn’t stop there as we head full speed into The BRITS Club Session, at My Place Club, Earl’s Court, with Kerrang Radio’s Christian Stevenson and Demo Mode on the decks from 10pm -2am. Entry is only £4 on the door.

The BRITS Invitational and Warm-up Sessions come in the lead-up to the forthcoming BRITS Snow and Music Festival 2012, so come along and check out the stand at the show (stand T70) or go to: www.the-brits.com
