Established in 1971, the Scottish Schools Snowsports Association has long been appointed by the Governing Body of Snowsports to support the development of Scottish snowsports. Over the decades it has provided many exciting opportunities to Scottish schools and crowned countless school champions. Many of these have been inspired by their success and enjoyment of schools skiing and gone on to engage in snowsports for life. Some have even gone on to represent their country on the world stage.
