FSO4 FREEZE 2008

Battersea Power Station isn't the first place that springs to mind when you think of snow, snowboarding or skiing, but this October sees London host a four-day festival of extreme music and even more extreme sports.

The event is part of the FIS World Cup - the only way snowboarders can qualify for the Olympics - with the world's greatest competitors trashing it out on a 30m high jump.

The music will take place in a 10,000 capacity big top and the festival will also have two bars and a lounge. There is no camping available.
