When was the last time you heard somebody use the term snow sports?

How about the British Association of Snowsports Instructors?

Heh.

It has become quite common usage among ski/board schools though.
Certain members even entertained the idea of renaming the Ski Club,
either to 'Snowsports Club...' or 'Ski & Board Club...'. Thankfully
this was rejected out of hand :-)

And haven't they renamed the B.S.S.F. 'UK Snowsports'..... (for greater
impact) ?

Not seen that, but it wouldn't surprise me tremendously.

Close, the BSSF is now "Snowsport GB " according to their site.
