About Snow Sports Foundation
The Work
People with additional needs, disabilities, and financial hardship often face barriers that prevent them from experiencing the slopes. SSF generates funds to promote and deliver snow sports opportunities to as many people as possible. This includes everything from familiarising students with ski gear, to getting them onto the snow. With the help of SSF, students begin to grow in confidence both on and off the slopes.
The Result
SSF is passionate about raising awareness of the benefits that snow sports can provide. This includes not just the ability to ski or snowboard, but also improved self-confidence, concentration, social interaction, fitness levels, motivation and listening skills. Their team are working towards a world where everyone, whatever their personal circumstance, is given the opportunity to transform their lives through snow sports.
