A new rule was just handed down from the Western Region protecting athletes who attend the NPS project in Burke that conflicts with the U16 Qualifiers at Snowbird.
Here is the new rule:
The Region requires that Divisions protect athletes that are selected and participate in the 2023 NPS projects that conflict with the Divisional qualifying process. These athletes will be selected as part of the Divisional quota. Athletes that attend the NPS series should participate in non conflicting qualifiers within their Division.
The U16 Boards will have the NPS attendees’ names at the top of the board even though they will have zero points after the Snowbird race. As these athletes score world cup points at the other qualifiers, they will be moved to where they objectively qualify. If they fail to qualify objectively, they will be automatics and will use one of our quota spots.
The results from the Sean Nurse Giant Slaloms and Slaloms in Jackson Hole are in. Today’s final day of Slaloms was canceled due to extreme cold weather.

Congratulations to the Intermountain Alpine Junior Team!
Every December, IMD selects six boys and four girls who were active IMD racers the previous season and will be active IMD U21 or U18 racers for the following season to become members of the IMD Junior Team.
IMD athletes who qualify but will not be returning to IMD to compete for the following season (move to the USST, went to college, retirement, etc.) are named honorary team members.
