Would be a great time for Westfield to announce official plans for that snow centre they were meant to be building in Stratford...couldn't ask for a better PR opportunity!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Wasn't the Ski Show supposed to be doing a pro big hair this year now that it's moving to Battersea.

Didn't know they were moving venue to Battersea. An... interesting, and significantly smaller, choice of venue.
As IOC has officially sanctioned Big Air as an Olympic event from 2018 and Freeze is now an FIS approved event, and it's the first event of the season, you can hopefully expect a pretty good line-up of riders looking to score points.

Has anyone been to anything like this before and can offer advice as to suitability for a nearly 10 year old? The website is currently pretty thin on details, and I'm sure they will be forthcoming nearer the time, but as it seems to be running on a Saturday afternoon and under 10s are free, I'm tempted to go along with my older daughter.

I've been a couple of times, but not too recently, there were plenty of kids around at those times. It's pretty corporate so I wouldn't worry too much, things may get a bit more 'colourful' (depending on your opinions) later in the evening once the music festival bit kicks into high gear, but I suspect that'll depend on who is playing etc etc.

Is she likely to be able to see what's going on without us having to fight through a crowd?

I suspect she'd be ok - most of the action takes place about 30ft up, and IIRC there are big screens either side of the kicker too.

I was thinking of taking my 6yro, but waiting for more info first, the tickets say gates open at 12, if we could see a couple of hours I'm sure she'll be happy

Keen to go, but £40 for a ticket when I'm not really interested in the music section of the day seems a bit steep.
