    If you would like to affiliate please contact us at info@snowsportengland.org.uk to start the process.

  • You can see what insurance cover your organisation gets with affiliation on our Marsh micro site.

    Just a reminder, there are eligibility requirements of receiving insurance cover via affiliation to Snowsport England.

    Eligibility Requirements

    • Have a current and approved affiliation.

    • Are based in the United Kingdom and have delivered against the requirements of member declarations.

    • Are a non-commercial organisation with any surplus profits reinvested into the club for the benefit of members.

    • Adhere to Snowsport England Rules and Regulations.

    Commercial entities, such as ski centres and academies, are not insured.

    The reason for this is that commercial focused organisations are typically larger in size and have profit making objectives.

    Insurers in the market therefore do not include cover for these organisations in national governing body membership schemes as they need to be quoted based on the organisation’s risk profile.

  • Please follow these instructions to reaffiliate an organisation.

    Please contact us if you require any support at info@snowsportengland.org.uk
