EWWS emphasizes the importance of staying active even in winter. Many adults reduce their activity levels during colder months, but this project encourages physical activity all year, reminding people that staying active is essential, no matter the season.
Making winter sports accessible and inclusive
EWWS aims to bring winter sports to everyone, not just those who live near the mountains. By organizing affordable and inclusive events, the project helps people overcome barriers to participation, ensuring that winter sports are accessible to underrepresented groups and communities far from traditional winter sports locations.
Driving sustainability and climate action in winter sports
EWWS seeks to combat climate change by promoting sustainable practices in winter sports. The project focuses on making winter sports events more environmentally friendly, raising awareness about the impact of climate change, and providing tools to help local organizations create eco-friendly events that are financially sustainable.
