Refunds will not be available for adverse weather or snow conditions that result in the cancellation of races. The organisers and hill team will do their upmost to ensure that all of the races are run in full.

Volunteers and Support Whilst we have a team travelling from the UK for the race, we do require additional help to run the races smoothly. A handful of gatekeeper parents would make all the difference. Please email malcolm@britskiacad.org.uk if you can help on any race day.

Great value accommodation

There are some excellent deals for accommodation in the valley from hostels to hotels for families or groups. If you'd like an info-sheet please email: helen@britskiacad.org.uk

Insurance and Equipment Rules

All competitors must have a current insurance policy that covers them for ski racing. The Organising Committee may require proof of insurance such as a valid governing body race licence or an independent certificate of insurance. No insurance = No Racing

Racers are reminded that helmets for giant slalom must conform to GB rules, i.e. no soft sides, soft vents, and remove slalom chin guard. For U14 upwards, this means a FIS compliant helmet with the FIS sticker (see section 3.6 in the FIS equipment rules which can be found at gbski.com/equip).

Catsuits for U10/U12 if the weather is fine The TCM will consider the weather forecast each day and decide whether or not to allow the U10/U12s to compete in catsuits. Be prepared. If the weather turns foul, Mini racers arriving at the start in catsuits will not be permitted to leave the gate.

Conduct

The resort have asked that competitors ski in a safe manner on the public pistes, or with due regard for the safety and enjoyment of other hill users. In particular please slow down well before joining the lift queue. Racers caught skiing dangerously may be excluded from the races.

Keep ski-passes with you. No ticket, no lift.

And finally, please, no littering.
