Fat Face kick off their summer Night Ski series on May 17 at Chill Factore in Manchester.

There’ll be £2,000 up for grabs in the contest that has returned to the UK after two successful years in the Alps.

The aim of the Fat Face Night Ski - the first in the series, which also takes in surfing, mountain boarding, wakeboarding, sailing, windsurfing and mountain biking - is to get some of the best UK talent on the snow after a season of practice.

Places for the Fat Face Night Ski 2008 are extremely limited. There will be three main categories: Pro, Seasonaire and Amateur for both male and female skiers and snowboarders and male and
female. 

Registration for the freestyle session will kick off on the morning of May 17 and there’ll be time to test the course in the afternoon before the event begins. Elimination rounds will test competitors and choose the riders who will go through to the grand final.

As soon as the event finishes, the winners will be crowned in the official prize giving celebrations, followed by a Fat Face party.
