Chairman Speech
Ski Association of Hong Kong, China Limited was found in 2003. We are very proud to be officially ratified by the International Ski Federation (FIS) as an associate member during the 44th ski Congress held in Miami in 2004.
We are also very honor to have visited China Ski Association in Beijing this year, and from this meeting, China Ski Association has given us plenty of great support in resources and are considering many co-operation and proposals in the future. We are also a full member of Asian Ski Federation (ASF) and belongs to the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee (SF&OC) in Hong Kong and that make us a part of the Asian skiing family. Despite the set-back in Hong Kong weather condition is not ideal for skiing, I believe that with the support from FIS & ASF, Hong Kong can be and will be a great basin for the sport of skiing in Asia and beyond.
As chairman of Ski Association of Hong Kong, I wish that our website can deliver the most updated information for our members and other ski enthusiast, and also be an effective promotional platform for the sport of skiing in Hong Kong.
Good health and happy skiing to all.
Best Wishes,
Edmond Yue

President Speech
It is my honor to be the President of Ski Association of Hong Kong, China Limited. Hong Kong is an international city where east meets west. Sport, as a kind of international language, can shorten the distance between people of different nationalities and cultural background. As a sports enthusiast, it is my pleasure to take the initiative to promote skiing as a potentially popular sport in Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong's climate is not conclusive for this sport, I believe that we can nevertheless overcome this restriction by encouraging people from different walks of life to enjoy this challenging and energetic sport.
Even though our association is at its infancy, we have already established an international network with the Federation of International Skiing (FIS), Asian Ski Federation, and Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China. By planning a proper development strategy, encouraging and promoting skiing, I believe that Hong Kong, though only a tiny spot on the map, can still cultivate and develop skiers to reach international standard and compete for medals in international competition.
I am delighted that our own website at Ski Association of Hong Kong, China Limited is now available. It will continue to be update with our latest news and will act as an interactive platform for skiers to share their experience and information. I hope that you will find our website useful.
Enjoy your skiing journey.
Best Wishes,
William Louey
President
