‘Our top priority remains the development of young athletes,’ explained FESA President Roswitha Stadelober. ‘That is why we have agreed to further modernise our structures and adapt them so that we can continue to fulfil this task with a clear vision for the future.’

Under the leadership of the Management Team in charge since February 2024, the best possible framework conditions for organising the various competitions are now to be created for all members from Northern, Eastern and Central Europe. This further professionalisation of the entire FESA organisation is to be driven forward even more intensively than before via the various discipline-specific commissions and as continental body of the European Ski- and Snowboard family.

The medium-term goal remains the implementation of joint FESA Games as a preliminary stage to possible European Championships at the end of each season. 

The Federation, based in Planegg near Munich, is a registered association. Its primary aim is to prepare young athletes for the next level of competition and to give them their first international experience. FESA members are the national ski and snowboard associations from Andorra, Germany, Estonia, Finland, France, Italy, Croatia, Liechtenstein, Norway, Austria, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovenia, Spain, Czech Republic and Hungary.

In Sölden, Denmark was unanimously accepted as the 18th member of FESA.
