Our Vision

To support kiwi athletes along the competitive pathway to the highest levels of international competition.

Our Purpose

Our Brand

Our brand is more than a logo. It’s a declaration.

The Snow Sports NZ brand is inspired by our heritage and powered by a vision of fuelling the competitive stoke for the NZ snow sports community.

It unites our diverse disciplines under one cohesive and recognisable identity – bold, aspirational, and grounded in our values.

Proud to wear the silver fern

Our identity reflects both our collective high performance ambition and our deep connection to New Zealand snow sports at a community level. At the heart of this identity, the  Snow Sports NZ logo serves as the primary visual representation of our organisation. 

The silver fern - a powerful and unifying national symbol - embodies our pride and collective purpose. Our core colours - black, white, and silver - proudly represent our identity as a New Zealand national team, symbolising strength, unity, and enduring tradition.

Honouring our past, as we move into the future.

The identity honours and acknowledges the sport’s legacy. Snow Sports NZ came together as an incorporated society in 2012, bringing together five different National Sporting Organisations under one umbrella.  

Each sporting discipline has its own unique culture, heritage and history, therefore our colour palette is grounded in the heritage of the previous identities, those shaped by generations of athletes.
