What a week so far in Week 2 of the Royal Navy Snowsports Festival ❄️
We kicked things off with some snowy weather bringing slightly challenging conditions, but today the mountains have delivered absolutely fantastic sunshine. Groups have been skiing and boarding right across the Tignes and Val d’Isère ski area, learning to ski, snowboard and telemark, while others have already stepped it up with race training, boardercross and their first sessions in the park. An awesome day on the mountain!

Proud to support one of our own 💙❄️

This winter, Debs Vout – our former RNWSA Sports Officer – is back out in Tignes, once again supporting the Hill Team and is also taking on an incredible challenge to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society.

Debs is giving her time, energy, and passion over the next 12 months to support an amazing cause close to many hearts. Full details of what she’ll be doing are attached 👇

If you’re able to, please consider sponsoring Debs and helping her raise as much as possible to support the vital work of the Alzheimer’s Society. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.

Let’s show Debs our support and get behind this fantastic effort 🙏💙
