Snowsport England and Snowcentres Limited announce new partnership

Snowsport England and Snowcentres Limited have announced a new partnership to provide sponsorship for aspiring British skiers.

The partnership sees Snowcentres Limited - the owner-operators of The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead and Chill Factore in Manchester - become the headline sponsor of the Snowsport England Talent Pathway.

It will enhance opportunities for athletes, aspiring instructors and established coaches in the snowsports community.

As part of the agreement, Snowsport England will offer ski and snowboard instructor and coaching pathways at the two venues from IVSI (the body for international snowsports coaching qualifications).

These courses are designed to cater specifically to the needs of an English-based snowsports instructor and provide flexibility for individuals looking to develop a snowsports career.
Securing funding for athlete development is always a challenge for British athletes. It costs on average £35,000 per year for an annual programme for an aspiring alpine racer, which is primarily funded by their families.

Pete Gillespie, Group Head of Snowsports at Snowcentres Limited, said:

"We're excited to embark on this innovative partnership, which represents a huge step forward in strengthening snowsports in the UK. Together, we are creating a unique opportunity for both instructors and athletes, making it easier to achieve internationally-recognised qualifications and access top-tier training."
