Important Notice to ALL Racers
-
Due to the quantity of unsportsmanlike behaviour at dry slope races following gate faults,
ranging from carrying on to cross the Finish Line, swearing, and pole abuse, all TDs & Race Organisers
have been reminded that sanctions are to be applied if behaviour contravenes competition rules.
Please be aware that this could ultimately lead to the sanction of ‘suspension from events’ (ICR 223.3.2).

Skiing
- It's ecstasy, anguish, joy and despair.
- It's part of our history.
- It's part of our country and will be part of our future.
- It's theatre, art, war and love.
- It should be predictable, but never is.
- It's a feeling that can't be explained but we spend our lives explaining it.
- It's our religion. We do not deny it, we do not apologise for it.
-
- We know how you feel about it because we feel the same.
