Catch Olympic Fever; Take a Ski/Snowboard Run in South Florida!

Sept. 28, 2009 - PRLog -- With less than 137 days until the 21st Winter Olympics, the Southeast Winter Sports Show, presented by Peter Glenn Ski & Sports, invites skiers, snowboarders, winter weather enthusiasts and their families to experience the thrill of competition on Virtual Snow®, an actual ski/snowboard simulator. The Southeast Winter Sports Show returns October 2- 4, to the Broward County Convention Center, 1950 Eisenhower Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, FL.  

Developed by Bob Salerno, a two-time world freestyle champion, Virtual Snow® helps beginners, intermediates, children, teens and adults to learn and train safely to maximize the time spent on the ski slopes. The indoor simulator is also a great place to break in new boots before heading to the mountain.

“Only in South Florida can you experience the thrills without the chill of America’s favorite winter sports,” states David Mahoney, Peter Glenn Ski & Sports marketing director.   He continues, “Now in our 20th year, the Southeast Winter Sports Show is a tradition, which signals the unofficial start of the winter outdoor sports season with mountains of fun and blowout savings on clothing, accessories, top-of-the-line equipment; as well as, travel and adventures.”

Show hours for the Southeast Winter Sports Show are Friday, October 2nd, 1 to 9pm, Saturday and Sunday, October 3rd and 4th, 10am to 6pm each day.  Admission is free for children under the age of 16 and $5.00 for adults.  Visit Peter Glenn Ski & Sports online: www.peterglenn.com/events or any South Florida location: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach and Juno Beach for discount admission coupons.
