So despite the bitter English cold and a few showers, this year brought the most stand out action packed exciting London Freeze to date!
I had such a great time and was so hyped on the atmosphere at the event! Really grateful to all my family, friends, the fans and people who came to Battersea Powerstation to check out the talent on the Big Air. Not forgetting all the awesome artists in the multiple music tents and head liners! Freeze went off! Of course big thanks to all the sponsors continuing to make it happen.
Here is an awesome video from route one with Highlights of the Snowboard Invitational.

Britain’s own Billy Morgan raised the bar for UK snowboarding Saturday taking the crown in front of one of the strongest snowboarding fields ever seen in London. This is the first time in Freeze Festival’s 5 year long history that a Brit has won the competition in front of the home crowd.
Marco Grigis of Italy took 2nd place and £2000 while Tor Lundstrom, Sweden, stomped his way to 3rd taking home £1000.
