Skiers and snowboarders at Chill Factore, the indoor snow centre near Manchester, are to get an exclusive chance to try out next season’s top-flight demonstration kit before it hits the shops.

Top ski and snowboard brands will bring their 2008/09 collections to Chill Factore on the last Friday of each month. Freestyle features will be set up and all skiers and boarders on the main slope will be able to test the equipment free of charge.

Skiers will be able to test out gear from Movement, High Society Freeride, Amplid, Icelantic and VIST. Option, Wild Duck, Endeavour, Amplid and High Society will be available for snowboarders to demo throughout the evening.

The equipment will be set up from 3pm until the slope closes at 11pm. A subscription to Fall Line magazine is up for grabs for the person who tests the most equipment.
