Snowsport England
Snowsport England (SSE) is the governing body for English snow
sports. Its main website relating to Nordic skiing is at:
www.snowsportengland.org.uk
In Scotland the governing body is
Snowsport Scotland. Unfortunately it is not able to devote
significant resources to Nordic skiing. The same is true of
Snowsport Wales.
