course

In the recent Racer Ready magazine Tim Fawkes responded to a previous article about the British Indoor series and the SSE Grand Prix series. Now that is a debate which will continue for a long time, pros and cons on both sides, and certainly a lot of history and little flexibility on either party.

Within ski racing every race needs officials to help run it. Many of the helpers are from the local club, some doing it for the first time but many officiating on a regular basis at many different races throughout the country.

There are currently two levels of officials that SSE like to have, Level 1 the basic and Level 2 more indepth. The thing it they forget that everyone is a volunteer in these races, yet they insist on running a 2 day (which in reality is 1.5 day) course for Level 2 officials.
