The 2026 event brought together twenty corporate teams from Knight Frank, Financial Times, Girl Powder, Snow Finel, Delancey, The Snow Centre, The Entrepreneurial Operating System, The Leadership High and Beaumier Hotels.

One of the most powerful moments of the evening event came when Snow Camp Apprentices Louis, Tafari and Arzu bravely shared their personal journeys, reminding everyone in attendance of the life-changing impact their fundraising efforts will make.

Their stories received a standing ovation and powerfully reinforced Snow Camp’s mission of helping young people gain qualifications, confidence and brighter futures thanks to the power of snowsports.

“Another incredible year in Val Thorens, with our wonderful teams, patrons, young people and Snow Camp staff creating magical alpine memories while raising funds that will change the lives of those that need it most,” said the Founder of Snow Camp, Dan Charlish.

“We are hugely grateful for the support, and would like to thank every team that fundraised at this year’s event, with Delanski named top fundraisers, followed by Snow Finel in second place and Snow Brainers in third.

We look forward to seeing everyone again in 2027.”

About Snow Camp

Snow Camp is the UK’s only national youth snowsports charity, transforming young lives since 2003.

The idea for the charity began in a South London youth centre, when young people playing a snowboarding game on X-Box told founder Dan Charlish they’d never have the chance to try the real thing.

He raised a few thousand pounds, took 13 teenagers to the mountains and saw first-hand the power of snowsports to build resilience, teamwork and hope.

Since then, Snow Camp has supported more than 23,000 young people from inner-city communities, combining snowsports with life skills, mental health and wellbeing support, qualifications and career opportunities.

In 2025, the charity was ranked 15th in the UK’s Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers, the highest placed charity in the country.

It was also named Social Justice Apprentice Employer of the Year, recognising the charity’s commitment to creating real pathways for young people to thrive.
