Slide & OTS Winter 2025 - Dates Announced: 7th – 9th January 2025, Ski Test At La Clusaz 27th - 31st January 2025

Following the results of a survey of exhibitors and visitors who attended Slide & OTS Winter, in 2024, the dates of the 2025 show have now been agreed as 7th – 9th January 2025.

The early January dates suited the majority of respondents and the consensus was for a three-day show taking place on the popular Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mid-week slot. Telford International Centre is again the venue with opening times of 9am to 6pm on the first two days and 9am to 4pm on the final day.

Slide & OTS Winter offers brands from the snowsport, winter outdoor and action sports markets, a ‘trade launch’ opportunity to showcase and promote new equipment and seasonal collections of clothing and accessory products to a captive audience of key buyers.

The show also provides opportunities for networking, socialising and catching up with industry colleagues and industry developments. Online space booking will be available from June onwards, with previous exhibitors given the first opportunity to reserve space and locations within the exhibition halls.

After two successful SIGB Tests in the freeride hotspot of La Clusaz, France, the UK snowsport industry is heading back for more equipment testing of the highest quality. The SIGB Snow Test will return to the foot of La Balme in La Clusaz between the 27th and 31st of January 2025. After two successful years, we're excited to be returning to this epic terrain for a week of testing next season's gear.

"The Test is open to all UK retailers and media. Join us for a week of testing equipment for the following winter. Registered testers can evaluate skis and boards and record their test results on our dedicated test app. There will also be the latest boots, accessories, and clothing available to try, where it matters - on snow, in the mountains. And don't forget, there's always a jam-packed social itinerary for making those all important connections and catching up with friends."

Nestled under the imposing north face of the Aravis chain of mountains, La Clusaz has also carved a reputation for hosting many leading on-snow industry tests, both ski and snowboard. For the second time, it will welcome the cream of UK snowsport retailers and media, to test, review, record and network on the slopes and in the village. The Test will be based at the La Balme car park - at the edge of the piste and right beside the main gondola station and cafe.
