Here's the scenario. For the past couple of years we've had pretty good snow here in the Midlands and with fingers crossed, we'll get some more this winter. Each time it snows, Allestree Park gets a reasonable number of snowboarders, a popular destination due to its reasonably long and steep slope (fairway) and its close proximity to Derby city centre. Weather conditions last November were especially bad and so venturing out further into the peaks was particularly sketchy.
The plan this time round is very similar to last years - to chat to as many snowboarders as possible and explain that we ride these hills and the surrounding area all year round, and ultimately to try and convert some of them to the dirt-side. This time however, I'll be a little more organised and will be arming myself with a few ATBA flyers with the
facebook derby details scribbled on the back. Maybe it'll be worth laminating them so they don't get wrecked in the snow.......
Its worth keeping some flyers to hand generally for those occasions when you get chatting to the dog walkers and a selection of promotional material can be downloaded from the
ATBA-UK website.
So, fingers crossed we get some reasonable snow some time this winter, and perhaps we'll get some new riders in the area. Watch this space.....

If roger hasn't posted any to you yet remind us to make sure you get some Mountainboard UK business cards
ps. it's not going to snow this year because I'v bought a snow shovel ;-)
I'm in the same boat - it's not snowed since I bought 20kg of road salt - typical! No business cards yet but then I should be seeing you all in a couple of weeks all going well.
