INTERNATIONAL DAYAWARENESS

World Snow Day

Every year on January 17, the whole world turns into one giant snow day. World Snow Day is the International Ski Federation's invitation to kids and families everywhere to explore, enjoy, and experience the magic of snow. It is part party, part first lesson, and entirely about falling in love with winter.
