Replying to College Freeride Circuit - it's official

from an e-mail from the president of SCCSC...


"...any college can have men's and women's freestyle ski teams and can compete under the USCSA as sanctioned collegiate competitions. Each team will need to register in the same fashion as their alpine, nordic and snowboard brethren at $125 per discipline (male and female teams are different disciplines). All athletes must fit the minimum academic eligibility requirements outlined by NCAA division 2 policies.


Currently the USCSA is defined by the three disciplines (Nordic, Alpine, and Snowboard) and each falls under the management of the VP of each of these three aformentioned disciplines. Freestyle skiing will be governed under the policies established by the VP of snowboarding in conjunction with the full-board or the Executive board when the full-board is not in session. What does this mean, you ask, is that all issues that arise should be addressed to the VP of snowboarding because the events will take place in conjunction with the existing snowboard events until a critical mass is reached within the organization. My hypothesis is that it will take 2 years to reach this critical mass and at this time, we can petition to have a fourth VP position established (VP of Freestyle Skiing).

We will be having an exhibition at the 2008 USCSA National Competition at Sunday River. More details will follow as to the event specifics in the near future."



So all you kids in college, if your school does not have a team, form one!!!
