Team Briton has now completed another show slope in Madrid, Spain at the Esqui y Montana 2006. 

Following on from the success at La Feria de Madrid this time last year, Briton Engineering Developments was engaged once again by Eventos Logisticos Feriales to repeat the magic. This key event in Spain's wintersports calendar is the Spanish equivalent of the Ski & Snowboard Show which Briton also recently exhibited at in London.

The slope once more formed the major feature of a show which has moved into larger premises since last year due to an expected 25% increase in visitor numbers. The rule of "What is not broken should not be fixed" was applied and the same winning design which permitted the Sierra Nevada freestyle team to demonstrate on the slope last year was constructed this time round.

On Saturday a competition took place between the Sierra Nevada and Grand Vilara (Andorra) Freestyle teams. Jamie Nicholls joined the former as an honorary member and they then went on to win the competition and take the EUR 1000 in prize money. Grand Vilara took the EUR 500 offered to the runners up. Antonio Tapia Sanchez of the Sierra Nevada team took EUR 300 for the best jump and Jamie Nicholls received a special prize of a pair of walkie talkies and EUR 200 - none too shabby for the 13-year-old from Halifax.

Interest in Snowflex and urban snowsports have been increasing since the installation if the snowsports centre in Noeux-les-Mines, northern France and the company looks forward to announcing more projects in Europe in the future.

It was therefore fitting that the show should be used to promote the next Snowflex slope to be constructed at Valladolid, Spain and we look forward to further projects in the near future.
