From Bermuda to the Mountains

Apply Now: this could be a Life-Changing Experience!

Skiing and snowboarding are incredible experiences, but not everyone gets the chance to try them. That’s where the BSSA comes in.

The Bermuda Ski and Snowboard Association has launched Snow Angel: a unique bursary funding a life-changing ski or snowboarding experience.

For successful applicants, it’s an opportunity to open the door to something new and step into a whole new world.

We understand the joy of skiing, the beauty of the slopes, and the thrill of that first run - and we want to share that experience.

THE SNOW ANGEL BURSARY WILL FUND:

❄️ Round-trip flights and airport transfers
❄️ Accommodation
❄️ Lift passes
❄️ Ski hire (boots, skis or snowboard, helmet) and reasonable essential ski clothing
❄️ Group ski or snowboard lessons
❄️ Reasonable food and drink costs

This is more than funding a trip - it opens access to skiing and snowboarding and welcomes new members into our community.

WHO CAN APPLY?

If you’ve always wanted to ski but have never had the opportunity - and likely never will without this initiative - this could be for you! 

To be considered, you must:
❄️ Be aged 21 or over by 7th February 2027 (we may consider applications from individuals aged 18 to 20 on an ad hoc basis)

❄️ A Bermudian or a PRC holder of Bermuda with valid medical insurance

❄️ Demonstrate financial need (through supporting documentation) - this opportunity is for someone who otherwise wouldn’t have the means to go

❄️ Have a valid passport for travel between Bermuda and the bursary scheme's selected snow destination for the applicable year

❄️ Be eligible to travel (must pass relevant visa process) with valid travel insurance

❄️ Be available and willing to participate in a February 2027 Ski/Snowboard Trip to Vermont! 

❄️ Have a genuine interest in the experience (no prior ski/snowboard experience necessary!)

❄️ Be willing to share accommodation with fellow club members of the same gender, if required.

❄️ Agree to feature on the Bermuda Snow social media pages and website.

APPLICATION PROCESS:

1. Email BermudaSnowSociety @gmail.com to request an application form: complete and apply. 

2. An interview process may take place, depending on the number of applicants.

3. The successful candidate will be announced September 1, 2026. 

THE FINE PRINT:

❄️ All decisions are made by the BSSA Board and are final.

❄️ The BSSA Board have the right to revoke (if the successful applicant is unable to meet the necessary requirements or if any information provided is found to be false or misleading).

❄️ The BSSA and the Bermuda Snow Society takes no responsibility for unforeseen circumstances, including but not limited to travel disruptions, visa denials, or personal emergencies preventing participation.

❄️ Participation is at your own risk. The BSSA and Bermuda Snow Society accept no liability for injury, loss, damage, or other adverse outcomes arising from participation in the trip.

❄️ The Snow Angel bursary is not redeemable for cash.  The Snow Angel bursary is not transferable to another person or extendable to other person(s). 

❄️ The trip must be taken on the dates specified by the BSSA Board, with the Bermuda Snow community trip.

❄️ The successful applicant must commit to participating in the full itinerary, including any group lessons and social media posts.

❄️ If the successful application is unable to meet travel requirements, an alternate applicant will be chosen by the BSSA Board.

❄️ The successful application must be comfortable and willing to participate with other community members.
