Ski fans, speak up: FIS wants your take on the future of snowsports

PARK CITY, Utah — If you’ve ever wanted to weigh in on snowsports competitions, how they are run and when and how they’re available to watch, now’s your chance to  let your voice be heard. The International Ski & Snowboard Federation (FIS) is asking fans of its races, competitions and athletes to provide input via a new survey that can be taken online.

Whether people are snowboarders or skiers, life-long powder hounds or those who have no desire to even be first-time never-evers,  all opinion matters to FIS from a standpoint of shaping the future of consumership, be it on devices, apps, channels, networks, etc.
