The International Ski Federation (FIS) is the governing body for international skiing and snowboarding. Founded in 1924, FIS is responsible for promoting and developing winter sports worldwide. Its headquarters are located in Oberhofen am Thunersee, Switzerland.
FIS oversees various disciplines within skiing and snowboarding, including alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, ski jumping, Nordic combined, freestyle skiing, and snowboarding. The federation is responsible for establishing the rules and regulations for competitions and for coordinating the organisation of international events, including World Championships and World Cups in each discipline. The FIS World Cup series, which includes alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, and ski jumping, attracts elite athletes from around the globe and showcases the highest level of competition in the sport.
FIS also plays a crucial role in the development of winter sports at all levels. The federation works with national ski associations to promote participation in skiing and snowboarding and to improve the quality of coaching and officiating. It aims to foster a safe and fair environment for athletes, encouraging sportsmanship and respect within the sport.
In addition to competitive events, FIS is involved in initiatives to promote sustainability and environmental responsibility within winter sports. The federation acknowledges the impact of climate change on winter sports and is committed to implementing practices that support the preservation of snow and ice conditions.
There are five continental associations affiliated with the International Ski Federation. These associations are responsible for organizing continental championships, providing support for their member federations, and representing their interests at the International Ski Federation Board meetings.
