ABOUT US

Setup in 1971, for more than 50 years the Scottish Schools Snowsports Association has been creating opportunities for schools to engage in snowsports. Over the decades it has delivered many exciting events and crowned countless Scottish Schools champions. Many of these have been inspired by their success and enjoyment of schools skiing and gone on to engage in snowsports for life, becoming instructors, coaches and some have even gone on to represent their country as snowsports athletes representing Scotland and GB on the world stage.

OUR PURPOSE

"The primary objective of the SSSA is to ensure that every pupil in Scotland has the OPPORTUNITY to access inclusive, safe and fun schools snowsports events, and is INSPIRED and MOTIVATED to go on and engage further in regular snowsports activity through school, a local club or with their family, choosing it as one of their sports for life." - Iain Ramsay-Clapham (Chairman SSSA)
