The Moment
Is Here.

Great Britain has the strongest Alpine ski team it has ever produced. What was missing was the structure to sustain it. We are building that funding structure now.

What is the Foundation

Backing British Alpine to Compete With the World's Best

Founded in 2024, the GB Alpine Foundation is the dedicated funding vehicle for elite British alpine skiing, backing the athletes and infrastructure required to compete at the highest level.

Established under GB Snowsport, the Foundation sits at the centre of British alpine's performance funding alongside its major sponsors. It brings together a committed group of supporters united by a shared belief: that British alpine skiing can compete consistently with the world's best, and that the structure to make it possible must be built now.

01
High-Performance Programmes Backing the coaching, training and competition infrastructure that elite athletes require.
02
Bridging Funding Gaps Closing the structural gap between GB's potential and its results at World Cup and Continental Cup level.
03
Athlete Development Accelerating pathways and providing the longevity that turns promising juniors into World Cup contenders.
04
Self-Sustaining Model Building a funding foundation that endures, not season to season, but generation to generation.

Why Now

The Window Is Open

Great Britain has athletes providing consistent World Cup results and a world-class junior team building behind them. What has been missing is the structure to sustain it.

Without that structure, momentum fades. With it, this generation can establish Great Britain as a consistent World Cup nation and arrive at the 2030 Winter Olympics as genuine contenders.

As we enter our third year, our objective is to build a committed funding base that can grow to have an even larger impact.
