The Skiers Trust, supporting British skiers and snowboarders
In Britain the snow is not readily available down the road or at the local sports centre. Artificial ski slopes can lack the challenge of the high mountains for the more adventurous. Since reaching the snow is expensive, it is clear that skiing simply costs more than other sports. This is where we come in, helping youngsters have the real mountain experience. If, like us, you, your family and friends have had enormous pleasure from skiing, why not join us in helping others to enjoy the sport as well? With this in mind the Trust hopes that every keen skier will soon be sporting a Skiers Trust badge.
We would like to increase the number of grants available to organisations and individuals and your help will enable us to do this.
Mission Statement
In an increasingly urban society, it is imperative to offer young people an activity that develops their initiative, individuality and courage. In the mountains, the skill and determination of the individual are pitted against the elements, and therein lies the attraction and challenge. Aspects of self-discipline, personal responsibility and leadership qualities are the benefits of the mountain experience. Thus, skiing fulfils a need which is fundamental, and the importance of such a challenge has never been so urgent as it is today. Skiing is no longer restricted to snow rich areas. Artificial ski slopes and more recently indoor snow slopes, play an increasing part in the provision of sports facilities in urban areas, opening up opportunities to many more children which were almost unattainable in the past, skiers progress to the mountains from these initial steps.
