Taking It Indoors

medium_skier_jump_2.5.JPGWith the UK’s notorious lack of snow, the students of Leeds City invaded the indoor Sno!zone at Castleford to compete at the Leeds Varsity X Games. Nike ACG sponsored this grass-roots freestyle event which saw Leeds Metropolitan and Leeds University go head to head in a bid to decide local snowsports bragging rights. The competition was fierce and atmosphere intense as over 250 spectators gathered to support their respective university teams. In the end it was Leeds University snowboarders and skiers who were victorious, leaving Leeds Met to wait until next year before challenging the champions. The event also raised over £600 for Disability Snowsports – a worthy UK charity set up to help disabled people take part in snowsports.
