The British Snow Tour, with its fresh, newly-designed website: www.britishsnowtour.com is excited to announce that it will be shaking things up big style for this year’s Tour which kicks off in September. A new competition format, designed to maximise inclusion and riders' slope time will be introduced along with an all-new National ranking system for snowboarders and freeskiers – a first for UK athletes!

Keeping the progression of UK snowboarding and freeskiing in a constant state of evolution is the driving force behind the British Snow Tour and BRITS events.
