We have never had any doubts that Ambition is fully committed to producing top class ski racers who are able to fulfil both their athletic and academic potential.
The SnowCentre MCR Sunday Sessions have become more of a “Club” than stand-alone sessions in recent years.
Competitive Alpine ski races designed as local pathways into national seeded races, held at The SnowCentre MCR. Open to all ages and abilities, from entry level to elite.
The Ambition Zermatt Glacier Camp forms a crucial part of the Ambition Summer Training Program each year.
The Ambition New Zealand Camp has been part of the Ambition Summer Training Program now since 2016 and remains the stand-out favourite camp of many of our athletes both past and present.

My years with Ambition were some of the best. The team, the base, and the programme are all first class — it felt like one big family, supporting each other through highs and lows while always having fun. I joined as a determined but technically flawed racer and left as a multiple British champion.
– Paul Henderson
Ambition is about so much more than just getting race results. The leadership there is 2nd to none and the ethos of hard work, commitment & teamwork, transcends the team and generations involved.

Ambition was the foundation for my career. It was there where I really discovered my unconditional love for the sport that has totally shaped my entire upbringing and made me the person I am today.
