Follow on Google News | World Snow Awards 2012 - And the winners are...It was a night of celebration at the 2012 World Snow Awards. The great and the good gathered in London to witness the very best in the world of skiing and snowboarding land the top honours.
By: World Snow Awards Launched by VOS Media, the company behind Ski and Snowboard magazine and the Ski and Snowboard Show, the awards were judged by an 18-strong panel of ski and snowboard experts, and by public vote. Olympic stars Martin and Graham Bell, along with Graham's co-presenter on Ski Sunday Ed Leigh, headed a panel that also included former president of the SIGB Damon Street, editor of Where to Ski & Snowboard Dave Watts, former chief executive of the Ski Club of Great Britain Caroline Stuart Taylor and editor of Ski and Snowboard Henry Druce. The 2012 World Snow Awards recognise the very best resorts, kit, companies and individuals in a total of 28 categories, as revealed below, with ski and snowboards judged using Ski and Snowboard magazine's extensive results from annual testing weeks. Nick Miller, Chairman of VOS Media and publisher of Ski and Snowboard says, “The ski and snowboard world is one of the most vibrant and innovative sectors of the travel industry and the World Snow Awards has recognised those who go the extra mile and lead the way for the rest of the industry. We are already looking forward to the awards for 2012/13.” Winning a World Snow Award is recognised as an independent stamp of approval for a company and its products, singling them out from the competition. VOS Media will now work with all of the winners to gain as much impact as possible from their World Snow Awards win. And so, without further ado, here are the winners of the 2012 World Snow Awards.
