Club Membership

& Organisation Affiliation

Connect your club or organisation to Snowsport Scotland to both support the sport and receive a range of services and benefits to help you keep our sport safe and sustainable.

Why Join?

Snowsport Scotland is a not-for-profit membership organisation and the voice of Scotland’s skiers and snowboarders.

We work hard to develop snowsports on behalf of the whole community, collaborating with clubs and facilities to increase grass roots participation, deliver an effective snowsports workforce, and provide accessible performance pathways for the Alpine Racing, Park & Pipe, Cross Country and Para Snowsports disciplines.

All Scottish clubs, associations, and organisations servicing and supporting the snowsports sector are invited to join or affiliate with Snowsport Scotland.

In doing so they bring much needed funds to the sport and become eligible for a range of benefits from funding and insurances, through to courses and help with governance items such as safeguarding, UKAD compliance and PVG’s.
