Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation (SVSEF) and the Bryce & Ronnie Athlete Snow Safety Foundation (BRASS) have created a survey to gather more data on in-bounds, backcountry and sidecountry skiing and riding habits of the U.S. Ski & Snowboard membership:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SVSEF

This survey is designed for athletes, coaches, parents, race officials and administrators of all disciplines that are 12 years of age and older.

The goal of this survey is to generate data surrounding skiing and riding habits in-bounds and out of bounds. This information will help us create better coaches education tools surrounding avalanche awareness, as well as a more detailed athlete curriculum.

Participation in this survey is imperative to helping us create more educational tools/programs for U.S. Ski & Snowboard membership moving forward.

Thank you for taking the time to answer this survey. If you have any feedback about this survey or any additional comments on avalanche awareness for ski/snowboard athletes please feel free to email Lindsay Mann at Lmann@svsef.org.

Thank you,

Lindsay Mann

Coaches & Team leaders,

Hope everyone is looking forward to some great racing this weekend. We are expecting a very large number of participants so we thought it would be appropriate to send everyone a note ahead of time to help prepare those who will be in attendance.

Parking for coaches and visiting families will be located in the Silver King Lot. This parking lot is situated directly below Silver King Hotel on the left hand side of Lowell Avenue. This is a busy time at the resort so we appreciate everyone’s cooperation on using this allocated space.

The races will take place on Payday run. Due to all the traffic on the mountain we are not able to accommodate tents, tables, BBQ’s etc. Athletes will be able to leave their backpacks directly below the finish area or at the start.

Time management will be important so please plan ample time to purchase lift tickets in the morning. Ticket windows will open at 8am and athletes can load the lift at 8:30. Also, lift lines could be busy throughout the day so please plan accordingly.
Please review GS rules with your athletes to help ensure the races runs smoothly. See rule: 614.2.3 in the ACR.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the first team captains meeting Friday night. Please don’t forget your waivers.

Best Regards,
John
