The International Society of Snowsports Safety was founded with the primary purpose of providing a forum for discussion and education concerning skiing safety.

The Ski Trauma and Ski Safety Congresses have brought together a wide variety of participants interested in all aspects of skiing safety. These meetings mainly aimed at providing a space for the presentation of a multitude of subjects concerning snow sports, including means to reduce the risk and treat injuries. Initially, the prime subjects of interest revolved around snow skiing including alpine skiing and many variations of cross-country skiing. In recent years the interest of the Society has widened considerably with the development of other sports such as snowboarding, freestyle skiing, alpine touring, and other hybrid activities.
