The mission, governance, and history of India's national ski and snowboard body.
Our mission is to grow winter sports in India by promoting skiing and snowboarding at all levels, nurturing talented athletes, providing access to quality coaching and training, and encouraging greater participation across the country. We are committed to creating a strong and inclusive sporting ecosystem that enables athletes to compete successfully at national and international levels.
An India where winter sports are accessible, celebrated, and competitive on the world stage — producing athletes who stand on Olympic podiums and communities where snow sport is a way of life, not a novelty.
Qualify athletes for the 2030 Winter Olympics. Establish year-round training facilities in Gulmarg, Auli, and Solang. Certify 200+ officials by 2028. Introduce grassroots ski programs in 15 Himalayan states by 2029.
