Following the Prime Minister’s announcement on January 4th, new national lockdown restrictions have been introduced across England. Snowsport England can regrettably confirm that all indoor and outdoor snowsport facilities will need to close.

You should follow this guidance immediately. The law will be updated to reflect these new rules. More information about what is and is not allowed, is available on the government’s website.

Non-compliance with government guidance and the law, could result in your insurance being invalid and result in potential fines from the police.

We are in continuous contact with Sport England and other sports to ensure we can get back to enjoying our sport as soon as possible, and in the safest way possible.

We would like to thank you all for following the guidelines previously, and for playing your part in keeping our sport safe.

The Snowsport England Team are here to help, so please get in touch if we can be of any assistance. Engagement events for clubs and coaches will be taking place online shortly and all updates will be on our website.
