Answers to Questionnaire

Day/Night Slalom It is planned to tighten up the programme, the race will run from day into night and follow a standard race timetable finishing no later than 20:00. There will also be food and drink available in the Finish area.

Results/Press Releases Results will be published as soon as possible, both on the internet and in and around the resort. Press releases will made as required.

Dates Hopefully this should be half term for 95% of all competitors.

Internet We have instructed the resort to identify all the internet access areas, and to try to make more available.

Race Organisation Now that we and the resort know each other, we should be able to run the races more efficiently.

Development Ideas The programme is already quite tight, however, with the increase in numbers next year, we will probably have separate races for male/females. It is proposed to include a training run for the Children’s SG. It is also proposed to hold a Skier X, more details to follow.
