The ski and snowboard show is expected to attract around 35,000 visitors this year who will be able to enjoy authentic alpine food stalls, après ski bar parties, as well as a number of winter sports competitions.

The 2013 event has been expanded on last year's two-day show, and will take place between 27 November and 1 December.

Andrew Topham, managing director of Vision Nine, told Event: "We felt Clapham Common fitted the event very well and has far better transport links making it much easier for attendees to get to. With the additional days added it will also make the show a better platform for our commercial partners."

The five-day event, in association with the Metro newspaper, will welcome a wealth of international skiers and snowboarders who will compete in the Hail The Rail competition battling it out for a £14,000 prize.

Four themed alpine bars are being set up as part of the festival including Dicks Tee Bar, a 1980s-style aprés which will invite guests to wear retro onesies and dance along to cheesy anthems. The Bavarian Haus will be an Austrian-themed outlet while the Metro Lodge will feature house music.

A shopping village will be selling a selection of snow equipment and technology, fashion and streetwear, while film premieres will be taking place in a ski and snowboard cinema.
