🚨 The Future of Freestyle Starts Now! 🚨

We’re excited to announce the next evolution of the Futures Project, a new facilities-led approach designed to grow grassroots freestyle snowsport across England. 🏂⛷️

Futures is all about creating fun, welcoming and progressive environments where young people can discover freestyle, develop their skills and continue their journey in snowsport. By working directly with facilities, we’re building stronger local communities, clearer progression pathways and more opportunities for riders and coaches alike.

And we’re kicking things off with our first facility to launch Futures at Tamworth on 16 June! 🎉

With the excitement of the Winter Olympics still fresh, there has never been a better time to get more young people sliding, riding and loving snowsport. This is just the beginning as we work towards creating a nationwide network of Futures centres that will help shape the next generation of freestyle riders.

A huge thank you to the team at the SnowDome for leading the way.

Who’s ready to join the movement? 👀

This Volunteers’ Week, we're celebrating the people who make English snowsports possible. 🙌

The early starts, late finishes, endless emails, event setups, judging, officiating, organising, supporting, and everything in between. The snowsports community would not function without the volunteers working tirelessly behind the scenes.

They are the backbone of our sport and the reason so many opportunities exist for athletes across the country.

To every volunteer: thank you. Your time, passion, and dedication make a huge difference, and Snowsport England wouldn't be the same without you. ❤️

Show our volunteers some love in the comments and help us celebrate the people who make it all happen. 👏
