SnowKidz Award 2024: All winners revealed

For the eighth and final time, the winners of the SnowKidz Award have been revealed.

It is a special year for all involved, as it will be the last time this award will be issued. It has been a longstanding part of the FIS programme Bring Children to the Snow which has increased youth participation across winter sports since 2010.

Recognising existing projects that encourage young people to discover the joy of trying and competing in the snow has inspired many new initiatives all over the world, including this year’s new entry Majid Al Futtaim Entertainment SnowKidz from the United Arab Emirates.

But this year’s crown – for the third consecutive time – belongs to Sweden’s Everyone on Snow programme, which has been a pillar of the nation’s growth in winter sports for the last 15 years.

Since its inception, Alla på snö has overseen 240,000 fourth graders and over 13,700 high school students discover the beauty of snow sports.

Third place Sky Tavern were particularly moved by their nomination, made up of hundreds of volunteers that run their children’s programs “with passion and skill.”

Bill Henderson, a recently retired Executive Director and now a volunteer, told us: “Kids and snow is what drives this ski area, we proved that in 2021 by winning the NSAA Conversion Cup."

As always, the judges took time to consider all factors from different criteria before making their decision.  

Below are the listed winners of the 2024 SnowKidz Award:

1. Everyone on Snow (EOS), SWE

2. CXC Nordic Rocks, USA

3. Sky Tavern Junior Ski Program, USA

4. SnowKidz Sports Day / SnowKidz training park, CZE

5. Week 4 Kids, ITA

6. Shred Kids, GER

7. School Promotion Programs, ESP

FIS would like to extend its congratulations to all of this year’s winners and participants.

The SnowKidz project has now been restructured and FIS will continue to support NSAs over various programmes in the coming future.
