Learn to ski or snowboard for free with the Express

As winter holidays go, few can beat the fun and exhilaration of snowsports, but there can be a lot to think about. There’s all the equipment, your lift pass, and finding the perfect resort. With all that planning to do, many beginners fail to consider (and later regret) taking a few lessons before they go.

To help you reach your peak on your first ski or snowboard trip, why not enter our competition? We have teamed up with Snozone Castleford to offer one reader and a friend the chance to learn all the basics for free.

The winner will receive combined ski or snowboard lessons one and two worth £165 for them and a friend; the perfect introduction to snowsports. Why spend every day of your first snowsport holiday at ski school, when you can learn the basics before you go and really make the most of the mountains?

Snozone offers a 170m long main slope with more than 1,700 tonnes of fresh snow as well as a learner slope for beginners.
