The International Ski & Snowboard Federation has signed Memorandums of Understanding with the Hong Kong and the Shanghai Pudong Ski Associations.

New indoor facilities, in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai, respectively, have been opened and certified by FIS for international standards.

This marks a step forward for winter sports across the continent, providing budding athletes with access to snow during the summer months and enabling Asian nations to train on approved courses.

“Asia, and China in particular, play an important role in FIS operations.,” said FIS Director for Development Programs, Dimitrije Lazarovski.

“All federations have expressed strong interest and committed to supporting FIS Development initiatives all over the continent, with a focus on Alpine Skiing, Snowboard, and potentially Cross-Country.”

The Ski Association of Hong Kong (SAHK) signed the same MoU with Bonski, who operates some of the largest indoor ski facilities in China, particularly the new Huafa Snow World in Shenzhen, which is now the largest in the world.

As a result, SAHK will be able to operate activities such as FIS training, competitions, educational programs, and safety programs, all over mainland China.
