Equipment regulations 07/08 season 27 May 2007 The equipment regulations for the new season remain largely unchanged, FIS having decided that major changes should only occur in the season following a winter Olympics and thus be on a 4 year cycle.
The only change to note is that the rule requiring CH2 racers to use super G skis for Super G races (i.e. not GS skis) will now be enforced by Great Britain. Thus, ALL CHILDREN 2 CATEGORY RACERS (YOB 93 & 94) WILL NOW HAVE TO USE Super-G skis for children's Super-G races.
If you start looking now, a very limited number of these skis might be available on the second hand market and will be little used. Larger and heavier racers might find a ladies FIS Super G ski a viable alternative and there should be more of these available second hand.
Tuesday Evening Beginner Lessons 27 May 2007 The waiting list for a new course of beginner lessons has now filled up; a 6 week course will begin on Tuesday 5th June (4.45pm at Southampton Alpine Centre - cost £39).
Anyone interested in future beginner lessons (probably in October 07) should put their names down on the list by emailing skiing4schools@aol.com. |
