NEW HAMPSHIRE ALPINE RACING ASSOCIATION 2014 - 2015 www.nhalpine.org On behalf of the NHARA Board of Trustees, I’d like to welcome you all to the 2014-2015 competition season. As we watch the color of the leaves turn from bright reds and yellows to brown, we are reminded that snow in the mountains is not far behind. Fall provides us with the transition period so necessary to move from the warmth of summer to the colder temperatures that are just around the corner. As New Hampshire ski areas prepare for the first snow and the arrival of skiers psyched to make first tracks, let’s hope for snow early and and often! If you are a U14 or a U16, chances are you’ve been paying close attention to the proposed ski dimension changes introduced by the FIS for this coming season. As stated by USSA, these standards were created in cooperation with representatives from the ski industry to progress athletes gradually from U14 to U18 standards. However, these new skis are not widely available everywhere in the country. A statement has been issued by USSA stating that U16 and U14 athletes may use the equipment of their choice in 2014/2015, EXCEPT for athletes competing at the U16 National Championship and Assessment Project, where the standards in the matrix must be adhered to. In addition, any athletes participating in NTG (National training Group) projects in Europe will also be expected to use skis conforming to these standards. The alpine equipment guide may be viewed at: http://alpine. usskiteam.com/alpine-programs/athletes/rules There has been a buzz and a roar around Mittersill Ski Area this summer. If any of you were hiking or mountain biking in the area, you no doubt heard and saw the action. Bulldozers were hard at work reclaiming Baron’s Run which will become the East’s premier Super G and giant slalom hill next season. Following on to this project next spring will be work to reclaim the Taft slalom hill at Mittersill, install snowmaking pipe and a new T-Bar. This project is made possible through coordinated efforts from the Franconia Ski Club, Holderness School and Cannon Mountain which recently signed an agreement with USSA designating the Mittersill slopes at Cannon an Official U.S. Ski Team Training site making one of four such sites in the country. Tiger Shaw, President and CEO of USSA made this announcement at the New England Ski Ball in Boston earlier this month. This project will be a game changer for New Hampshire ski racers and ski racers from around the region who will have the chance to come to Mittersill to train and race at this world-class venue. We at NHARA are extremely excited about this new effort and the opportunity that it presents for our New Hampshire athletes and athletes around the region. In closing, I would like to wish all the NHARA clubs, athletes, coaches and parents the best of luck in the coming season. And a big thank you to the New Hampshire Ski Area Operators for hosting all the events. Think snow! 1 ALL OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS START FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS.

A USSA sanctioned race must be properly supervised to gain recognition and have the results recorded. It is NHARA’s responsibility to send a Technical Delegate (TD) to supervise each USSA sanctioned race. The TD and other officials are impartial “umpires”. Contact Ted Newman ([email protected]) for information. The NHARA Alpine Officials Committee sponsors several clinics open to anyone interested in learning more about organizing or officiating at ski races. It should be considered a requirement for all race organizers and crews to attend at least one officials’ clinic each year. We encourage Officials to join USSA - Official’s Membership/License is $60.00 Benefits: • Official’s License, Manual and other materials • The USSA Competition Guide (USSA version of FIS ICR) • Ski Racing Digital Publication • Inclusion in USSA Liability Insurance policy • Secondary Medical Insurance during participation in USSA events • Participation in clinics and certification programs. Jury members, Chief of Course, and Course setters MUST be current members of USSA or the event liability insurance is in jeopardy. Sign up early! Background screening, a recent requirement of the liability insurance carrier, must be complete and not “pending”. This screening addresses felony convictions, drug & alcohol offenses and offenses involving improper actions towards children. Personal primary health insurance is required. It may take as long as two weeks to become a valid USSA member eligible to be on the Jury, Chief of Course or a Course Setter. Therefore, you will not be able to join USSA at Race Registration. Coaches/officials should submit a record of their own activity to Ted Newman immediately following the end of the season to receive credit for upgrading. VOLUNTEERS Most NHARA races require between 35-40 volunteer workers to be run safely and efficiently. Speed events require more. Our member clubs welcome parents and friends who are traveling from other mountains to volunteer to work at NHARA races. Volunteers who work a race at another mountain receive a voucher for a day of free skiing based on the policy of the mountain for race workers. Sign up on line by visiting www.nhalpine.org/volunteer 10 RACE JURY The Race Jury is charged with making sure that the race is safe, fair and legal. Service on the Jury is an opportunity to influence the conduct of the race positively. All members of the Jury must be members of USSA. RACE JURY: Technical Delegate (TD) Chairman, Referee, Chief of Race. Assistant Referee is added for Speed Events only. The TECHNICAL DELEGATE is a trained volunteer, assigned by the NHARA Chairman of Alpine Officials. Final responsibility for all aspects of the race rests with this person. The other members of the Jury must abide by his/her decision in matters of safety. All other rulings are by a majority of the Jury; in case of a tie, the TD’s vote prevails. The REFEREE’s special responsibilities include: 1. Meet with the Jury before the race. 2. Inspect the course. He has the right to change the course if he judges it to be unsafe or illegal by taking out or adding gates. If he/ she alone inspected the course, his/her decision is final, although the course setter must be informed of any changes. 3. Supervise training. 4. Receive the report of the forerunners and declare that the race may start or not. 5. Observe the race and be ready to interrupt if necessary. 6. Authorize re-runs. 7. Receive reports of the Start Referee, Finish Referee & Chief Gatekeeper. 8. Check for disqualifications and post on the Official Score Board with the time and his signature. 9. Meet with the Jury to consider protests. The Referee presents any concerns with the course or other areas to the Jury. The Race Jury and Team Captains will meet in the Finish area 30 min before the Start of ALL NHARA races This is a USSA mandate because of insurance. All members of the Jury must respect the decisions of the Technical Delegate, especially in matters concerning safety. A dissenting report may be made to the NHARA Review Committee by any member of NHARA. All coaches not already certified as a Referee need to attend Referee Training. The USSA AO Exam for Referees is given each Fall. In addition, all certified referees must attend an update clinic every other year in order to retain current certification. The USSA Competition Guide containing the USSA Rules (similar to the FIS ICR), is available on the USSA Web Site. A RACE MAY NOT BE SCORED IF ANY MEMBER OF THE JURY IS NOT A MEMBER OF USSA. This means that the race might not count. 11 COACHES COUNCIL The NHARA Coaches’ Council is dedicated to improving all facets of ski racing in New Hampshire. Open meetings are held regularly in the fall and spring and are open to all active New Hampshire coaches. We encourage all to attend. The goals of the Coaches’ Council are: 1. To provide an opportunity for all coaches to further their education through NHARA Programs or through programs available at a national level through USSA or other professional organizations. 2. To share experiences and ideas with other coaches for the benefit of all. 3. To create a positive environment for our athletes to grow and achieve their goals. To achieve these goals NHARA provides coaches with a forum for education and communication and offers financial aid for qualified continuing education programs. All coaches must be USSA members as a Professional Coach. There are other requirements also; see the ussa website for details. All NHARA coaches must submit a copy of their current USSA Membership Card to their respective Program Director or Head Coach, who in turn must submit a list of coaches to the NHARA Executive Secretary, Laurie Stevens. Only those listed coaches will receive NHARA Coaches Membership Cards giving them access to race courses. The Coaches Council meets regularly at the New Hampton School with all NHARA coaches welcome. The NHARA On Snow Coaches Clinic is calendared for Bretton Woods December 11-12, 2014. See the NHARA website for further information. A schedule of programs responsible for providing a certified referee at Seeded Races will be found on the NHARA website Coaches Council email address: [email protected] The Coaches Council wishes all racers, coaches, officials, and parents a fun, healthy and successful 2014-2015 Ski Season.

It particularly endorses the policy for sportsmanlike conduct which states that competitors, coaches, officials or other personnel may be reprimanded, disqualified or suspended for conduct at USSA events that is prejudicial to the sport, as recommended by member organizations and so determined by a Division’s Board of Directors. GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP includes, but is not limited to: A. Respect for all race officials and ski area employees. B. Suitable dress and grooming, courtesy and good manners in public places, at races and while traveling. C. Self-control, responsible behavior, consideration for other’s physical and emotional well-being. No profane or abusive language. D. Respect for private and public property. E. Abstinence from the illegal use of alcohol and drugs as befitting an athlete, coach or official representing a club, school or ski area. F. Respect for lift facilities, lift privileges, and closed areas. G. Honest conduct. No theft or misrepresentation whatsoever. H. Attendance at awards ceremonies and receptions. I. Respect of USSA and FIS rules regarding commercial display at awards ceremonies A summary of the Regulations may be found in the USSA Competition Guide. Copies of the complete By-laws and Competition Regulations are available at the USSA Office. A RACE JURY, OR THE NHARA REVIEW COMMITTEE, MAY PREVENT A RACER, DISQUALIFIED FOR MISCONDUCT, FROM COMPETING IN ONE OR MORE FUTURE RACES. NHARA REVIEW AND APPEALS COMMITTEE This committee shall review reported incidents of misconduct on the part of any NHARA racer, coach, or official, and shall recommend sanctions, as appropriate, to the Board of Trustees. The committee shall review reports of mismanagement and rules infractions at NHARA-sponsored races, and shall provide recommendations to race organizations and juries to improve the quality of NHARA-sponsored races. This Committee also reviews disciplinary actions taken by Race Juries and any complaints concerning Athlete Selections, Sanctions and Reprimands. Appeals should be forwarded to the Chairman as soon as possible, accompanied by a fee which will be returned if the appeal is upheld. Action by the Committee will be taken as soon as possible. 22 RACER RESPONSIBILITY CODE 1. Bindings must be in good condition and properly adjusted for the conditions. Unbreakable sunglasses and goggles are essential. 2. Warm up for training and racing sessions. Stretch for at least five minutes before skiing. Warm up gradually on snow, skiing various radius turns, before skiing at racing speed. 3. Always carefully inspect a course before running it. Follow the inspection rules for the training session or race. Do not cross or go onto closed courses at competitions, and always be certain that practice courses are clear before proceeding. 4. If you fall and are unhurt, immediately signal that you are OK and quickly move a safe distance away from the course. Collect your gear and reorganize away from the active course. 5. While attending a race event, stand far enough from the course to allow a racer on course full visibility, room to recover and room to come to a stop without hitting you. 6. Always remain still while there is a racer on course, and never free-ski on or near a closed race course except as allowed by the established inspection procedures. 7. If a gate pole is knocked out or broken and presents a danger, place it outside the course, preferably totally to the side of the slope or as directed by the coaches, course officials or workers. 8. Be sure to communicate with your coach when tired, ill, uncertain or afraid, if the course is too difficult or rough, or if visibility is poor. 9. Always stop below your coach or training group. Never attempt to stop above any skier or group. Always leave room to take “evasive action” should your coach or others in your training group move unexpectedly. 10. When your run is complete, move immediately out of the finish area or away from the course. Make sure that you have an adequate finish area and safe room outside all courses. 11. Never jump or ski fast into an uncontrolled “blind spot”. 12. When free-skiing outside race and training areas you must be aware of others and ski in full control at all times. Respect other skiers’ rights to a safe and pleasant skiing experience. APPROVED HELMETS MANUFACTURED FOR SKI RACING ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL TRAINING AND RACE EVENTS SL, GS, SG AND DH 23 SCORED COMPETITION Racers born in 2000 and earlier SELECTION PROCEDURES NHARA POLICIES The NHARA schedule and selection procedures have been developed over the past several years to present New Hampshire alpine racers with the best possible opportunities for advancement, development and enjoyment of the sport. They are designed to mesh with the USSA-Eastern, USSA and FIS schedules. In studying the selection procedures on the following pages, please remember that they are intended to be as straight forward as possible, and to encourage rapid mobility. No valid procedure can be instantly responsive, however, so that some racers may need to wait until the next series of events, or for the next Seed List, in order to see their progress reflected in movement up through the “pipeline”. When possible, the qualifying procedures are also by age group, which allows younger racers to compare themselves to their peers, making it easier to evaluate their progress. As the season progresses, new information will become available and must be considered in racer selections. Qualifying procedures will always make use of the most up-to-date information. In addition, as a series of events is held, the results of those events may be reflected in future selections to races and state quotas. QUOTAS AND SELECTION PROCEDURES FOR EACH RACE/ SERIES APPEAR ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES. To be eligible for a NHARA event or for selection to a state quota or team, a racer must be a member of NHARA, with current dues paid at least 10 days prior to the event or the selection date ($25 is the late fee for all renewals after November 30th). No awarding of place points, or selection to quotas will be refigured subsequently to include racers who join NHARA late, whether the late joining was to take advantage of an unexpected result or because of an earlier oversight. All racers must be USSA Licensed Competitors ($150). USSA Competition rules state that a racer may represent only one state at any given time. Full-time students who are training in New Hampshire Programs will represent New Hampshire. Membership in more than one state organization at a time is not allowed. (see Eastern Region in the Comp Guide) 24 For more information or questions about these policies, quotas or selection procedures as they appear on this and the following pages, contact your coach or the Competition Committee (ACC) Secretary. U16 (1999 & 2000) U16 (14 and 15 year olds) competition is a transitional step between children’s racing and seeded competition. Eastern U16s compete at the state level in a scored qualifying series for selection to regional events. See page 36-39 for more information. U16s may compete in USSA scored competitions at the discretion of the coach in order to begin developing a point profile (recommendation is not to exceed 16 starts). Any USSA points earned at these events will be valid as soon as they appear on the USSA points list but may not be used for qualifying or seeding in qualifying events. A USSA Competitor License is required for access to seeding and points. A scored U16 State Championship will be held in mid-March from which 3M/3W will qualify for the Eastern U16 Finals The Eastern U16 Championships and Eastern U16 Finals are major season long goals. This season there is a state quota for the Eastern U16 Am-Can event where selected racers will compete against athletes from Alpine Quebec and Alpine Ontario. Also on the calendar is an invitational U16/U14 National Project in early April, site TBD.. U18 (1997 & 1998) U21 (1994, 1995 & 1996) & SR (1993 & earlier) Various series of races form a pipeline from local to state to regional to national and to international events. The age groupings of seeded competitions allow for a designed progression of athlete development from state and regional teams to becoming nominated for the U.S. Ski Team. Advancement to these top levels of competition is based on performance. Athletes involved in seeded competitions in the USSA Eastern region must hold a USSA competitor membership and be a member of one state racing organization (where the most training takes place). U21s may race in Masters Alpine races (excluding Championships). An International Ski Federation (FIS) License is required for any FIS racing and inclusion on the FIS points list. Contact the Eastern Region website for more information. 25 NHARA RACES for SR, U21, U18 and U16 Racers OPEN RACES: Any USSA Licensed Competitor, NHARA member or not, may enter any NH race listed as “Open” in the NHARA schedule, subject to the race organizer’s field size limits.

Those racers qualifying for Macomber Cup from the Tecnica races but do not start in a Macomber Cup race will be scored for Tecnica. Any racer starting in a Macomber Cup Race will not score any more Tecnica Cup points (but will keep those already earned). Only the racer’s 4 best results will count toward the Cup. MACOMBER CUP SERIES: Jan 1., Jan. 5, 12, 19, 20, 26, Feb. 2 & 9 Entries will be accepted and scored from the following: A. All racers with Slalom or Giant Slalom points less than points to be determined, on the USSA Late Fall Seed List. Cut-off points will be posted on the NHARA website by Dec. 15.

New Hampshire racers who believe that their seed points are incorrect should contact the NHARA Seed Review Chairman by mail or email. Do NOT contact Eastern or USSA directly. Please give name, address, USSA number, copy of Racer History sent you last summer if you raced in seeded competition last winter, and a copy of the race results in question. A list of the races which you have successfully finished should be included if you think you have not received proper credit. Your impression of what is wrong may be helpful. A check of the USSA Web site may help. Please notify the NHARA Seed Review Chairman as soon as possible. It may be helpful to others as well! 27 U16s and RACERS NEW TO NHARA This information may be particularly helpful to first year U16s and/or anyone who is new to our program in NHARA (New Hampshire Alpine Racing Association). RACING CATEGORY 1) Getting Started: The heart of the U16 competition calendar is the refinement of alpine racing skills and the 6 race qualifying series leading to the Eastern Region U16 Championship, the Eastern U16 Finals and the Eastern U16 Am-Can events. The remainder of the schedule is filled with open scored and unscored races. See page 36-39 for more detailed information. The focus for U18s and older is establishing a USSA point profile and qualifying for the Macomber series. See below for more information. Seeded: your start order is determined by your points on the current USSA Point List. In the your first race you are listed at 990. You hope to lower your points by finishing 2 runs of each race. Points: Refer to the USSA Competition Guide for an explanation of the calculations. Your points are also one means of determining whether you are eligible for Macomber Cup Series scoring. 2) Established : This group (U18s) usually has already established a point profile and understands which events are important in their racer management. Their focus is qualifying for the Championship events in March and trying to make criteria for FIS starts. Gaining entry to the FIS races allows them to establish their FIS point profile and to continue improving their USSA point profile and establish eligibility for selection to regional, tri-regional and national events in the pipeline. 3) Advanced: This group (U21, SR) is usually composed of the top tier skiers. The focus of this group is usually centered around FIS racing. These athletes are already qualified for all the NH races and may not attend a large number of these events due to conflicts with the FIS schedule and training time. Both the athletes and parents of this group understand the system. NHARA RACE SERIES 1) Tecnica Cups: This series was originally designed for the “getting started” group. These are now essentially Open races. See page 26 for more info. Each Tecnica Cup race qualifies a number of skiers to the Macomber series. Scores within the season series are kept with top finishers winning some booty from the series sponsor – Tecnica. 28 2) Macomber Cups: These are now essentially Open races. The Macomber Cup is an important series for the established and the advanced skier. This series has a specific point level of qualification which is announced in mid December. Once determined, the cutoff will be posted on the NHARA website-nhalpine.org. Scoring in this series is usually a goal for the “getting started” group. See page 26 for more info. Although not listed as a Macomber series race(s), the NHARA SGs are included in the Macomber scoring. 3) NHARA SGs: These are the in-state speed opportunities and are open races. Historically these events are held at Attiash and are great entry level speed events. The results are used in combination with the Macomber series scoring to select teams from New Hampshire for the Championship events. 4) LaFoley Spring Series: These are open races with no qualifying pressures. The LSS is a race series hosted by the LaFoley Family with some nice trophies for the series winners. Scoring is by current NHARA members only. See page 26 for more info. U18, U21, SR FIS RACES: Selection method and age group quotas will be posted on the Eastern website. A. Eastern Cup racing represents the “next level” of racing and getting FIS starts is a goal for most aspiring skiers. Participating in these races requires a separate FIS racing license and an established level of USSA experience. Selection to these events is regionally based (by USSA points). There is no longer a state quota for the Eastern Cup Series. It is high level competition and the field is full of the best college skiers and occasionally National Team members. B. Open FIS racing: this is a relatively new class of FIS racing designed for younger skiers and less experienced skiers. Designated Open FIS events in February are qualifying events for selection to the Eastern Team to the U18 Nationals. See page 35 as well as the Eastern Handbook for more inrormation. C. FIS University races (FIS-U): These are college carnival races which are FIS events. Occasionally some of our top NHARA skiers qualify for these races through a regional development quota. It is really important for the racer to plan his/her season and to balance training with race starts. Your coach can help you set up a racer management plan that is appropriate for you. An optimal number of race starts allows for adequate training and rest. Constant monitoring of racer management is necessary to be successful and there is no true formula. 29 W NH Quota: 5M/5W Open FIS 2/12-13 Attitash GS-M 2/19-20 Proctor SL-M 2/12-13 Sunapee GS-W 2/19-20 Sugarbush Eastern NJR Junior FIS Finals (U21/U18) Speed DH & 2/1-2/2 SG events at Sugarloaf • First year FIS (1998) may not exceed 25 GS & SL total starts including Championships. • USSA Eastern Development projects are filled by the Eastern office. • Refer to pages 26-27 for general information on scored races, rules and scoring for Macomber Cup, Tecnica Cup and LaFoley series.
