Racing Rules

Skiing Racing Rules:
  • Bibs must be visible during course inspection and during the race. (not under jackets ) They may go under your jacket while waiting for your start.
  • Inspect course by side slipping along the side of the course. It is best to inspect with your coach.
  • Any infraction of the above could lead to a DSQ, (Disqualification)
  • If you get a DSQ (Disqualification) or a DNF (Did not Finish) on your first run you can and are encouraged to take a second run to earn points for the team and to gain experience on race courses.
  • Any racer who LOSES A SKI IS OUT. Move out of the course immediately. You can not continue. You may have a second run.
  • If you lose a ski 2 gates above the finish line (3 gates including the finish) you may finish the course on one ski.
  • If you are interfered with in any way, you must SKI OFF COURSE IMMEDIATELY AND REPORT TO THE FINISH LINE REFEREE for a provisional rerun. The referee will wear a bib and have a clip board at the finish line.
  • If you cannot find the referee or if you have any questions or problems even DSQ questions find a PHSST coach immediately
  • If you fall and your ski does not come off and you think you might have missed a gate ASK THE GATEKEEPER “did I miss that gate?” and point. If the answer is yes then climb back up to the gate and make sure both your boots and skis cross the imaginary line between two gates and then ASK THE GATEKEEPER IF YOU MADE IT THROUGH. They will only speak to you if you ask, ALWAYS ASK.
  • We are a team so EVERYONE MUST STAY until the ribbons are handed out. We need to cheer on our teammates. If you must leave you need to tell Roni Sue. No free skiing when ribbons are handed out.
