Team’s record-breaking achievements celebrated at post-season reception

GB Snowsport team joined by Royal Patron HRH The Duke of Edinburgh to celebrate historic 2024-25 season

The record-breaking achievements of GB Snowsport athletes across the 2024/25 season were celebrated alongside HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, team sponsors, and guests of the Financial Times at post-season reception hosted by Fortnum & Mason last week.

Freeski Halfpipe World Champion Zoe Atkin, Slalom World Cup skier Billy Major, and Para Alpine World Cup skier Menna Fitzpatrick spoke at the event to reflect on another historic season for British skiers and snowboarders, which delivered the most Olympic discipline podiums in a single season by a British snowsport team, alongside World Championships medals in Freeski Halfpipe, Snowboard Cross, and Telemark, and Crystal Globes for Zoe Atkin, Mia Brookes, and Jaz Taylor.

The reception, hosted at Fortnum & Mason’s 3’6 Bar, saw sponsors and supporters of GB Snowsport celebrate the team’s achievements, while  The Duke of Edinburgh paid tribute to the successes and hard work of GB Snowsport’s athletes, coaches, and staff, while calling on attendees to show their support to the team in the build-up to the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Milan-Cortina next year.

The event was convened to mark the end of the first year of the partnership between GB Snowsport and the Financial Times, and comes on the back of a season which saw British athletes deliver an incredible 46 podiums at the highest levels of international snowsport.
