Discipline Specifics

Race:

The ski and snowboard racing events will consist of a Slalom. Women run first followed by the men.

Snowboard dual slalom teams will consist of 4 riders. These races will run straight after the ski race. The draw is done randomly, and they are straight knock outs. There will be a best of three-run final.

Ski dual slalom races will be the last competition of the alpine disciplines. The teams will consist of 5 athletes of both genders. The draw is random, where there are universities that can field more than one team we will endeavour to draw second teams amongst themselves first. It is a straight knock out with a three-run final.

Freestyle:

The Ski and Snowboard Freestyle competition will take place on a Slopestyle course containing both rail and jump features. A jam session qualifier to showcase ability and trick variety will determine the finalists for each gender and discipline. The finalists will then compete in a 3 run, best run counts, final.
