About the Kenya Ski Federation

Founded by athletes, built for the future — the official governing body developing winter sports in Kenya and representing our nation on the world stage.

Our Foundation

The Kenya Ski Federation (KSF) was established in December 2024, answering a call from active Kenyan winter sports athletes and a growing diaspora for a structured national governing body. For years, Kenyans competed internationally despite limited resources, infrastructure, and support. The Federation exists to change that, providing leadership, coordination, and athlete support, so that talented young athletes have a pathway to discover, develop, and pursue winter sports, wherever they live. Under the leadership of President Philip Boit, a pioneer of Kenyan winter sports, the KSF is affiliated with the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) and works closely with the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K). With a growing network of athletes, coaches, clubs, and supporters across Kenya and the diaspora, the Federation is building on the legacy of those who first carried our flag onto the snow.
