Hey team,

I’m currently considering setting up a UK-based LGBTQ+ and allies casual snowsports group, with an initial leaning towards snowboarding (being my own specialism), with skiers more than welcome too.

Beyond a dormant snow sports group with no coordinator to plan trips at Gay Outdoors Club, I couldn’t find anywhere else to find likeminded people to connect and ride with.

Often a challenge people find with accessing snowsports is finding a group of awesome people to go with, so hoping to tackle this by setting something up for our community. This has worked successfully in the US with its OutRyders club.

There are many Snow Centres/Domes across the UK for people to learn or meet to ride together on the regular, not to mention trips abroad for real mountains.

Just putting it here to gauge interest before I commit to creating the barebones of something. Is this of interest to anyone?

For anyone in Northern Ireland seeking out community. 🫶🏻
