We know we've already given you the dates for this year's BST, but here's the official release.

New Dates and Venue Announced for 2008 British Snow Tour

The 2008 British Snowboard and Freeski Tour returns this summer, announcing six new dates, revisiting a great venue and continuing to represent and showcase the highest level of Snowboard and Freeski competition in the UK.

Halifax Ski and Snowboarding Centre makes a welcome return to the British Snow Tour. Last visited in 2004, the SnowFlex kicker and slope is a favourite amongst spectators and competitors alike. Halifax joins five of the six tried and tested venues from the 2007 Tour: Chatham, Norfolk, Castleford, Milton Keynes and Glasgow. By adding great venues and continuing to incorporate a dedicated Schools Tour program, which will visit over 6,000 kids and give away 1,000 lessons, the British Snowboard and Freeski Tour continues to create new breeding grounds for emerging talent and continues to provide a path from grass roots participation through to international competition.
