The Snowsport England team are working hard to digest the latest update from the government guidelines released on Thursday 9th July. Some of this refers to indoor facilities but there are a number of updates referring to all activity.
We will be working through these guidelines and what it means for Snowsport activity and will release updated Snowsport England guidelines ASAP. We are aware that some criteria may change as the sector including ourselves digests this latest government information and will be seeking clarification where needed. We will also be working with facilities to understand what this means for our clubs and their activity.
If clubs have any sessions planned for this coming week, please ensure you have read and fully understood the latest government guidelines. Links below. It is imperative that all clubs are aware of the current government guidelines and that these are followed.

When posting on Social Media please ensure that any photographs or videos posted show activity which is adhering to the current guidelines.
We understand there is a lot of information here, but we wanted to make sure you have everything you need. Our friends over at Clubmatters have prepared a new suite of resources to give you tips and guidance on how to do this safely. They have created a toolkit for clubs to use as a guide.
