About SSA SSA Vision To create Snow Sports champions by providing clear and supported athlete pathways. Ski & Snowboard Australia (SSA) is the nationally and internationally recognised authority governing competitive snowsports in Aus- tralia. SSA is affiliated with the Federation Internationale de Ski (FIS), Australian Olympic Committee (AOC), and the Australian Sports Commission (ASC). SSA conducts events and programs in Alpine Skiing, Cross Country Skiing, Freestyle Skiing, and Snowboarding. Skiing and Snowboarding are multi Olympic Gold Medal winning sports. From the Torino Olympic Games in 2006 through to Vancou- ver 2010, the winter sport disciplines of skiing and snowboarding have amassed 77 medals at the World Cup/World Championship level. This is over a quarter of the 256 medals won in Australia’s 75 year winter sport history. At the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games, Ski & Snowboard Australia (SSA) placed 8th on the International Ski Federation (FIS) ranking of the 110 nations taking part in the Games, ahead of such winter sport powerhouses as Russia, France, Italy and Finland. Skiing and Snowboarding in Australia continues to achieve results that appear out of proportion to the size and status of the sport in Australia. The role of SSA is to be innovative and progressive in developing systems and partnerships to foster High Performance success. Ef- fective pathway management and support of the various program partners is essential in order to ensure consistency and security of results into the future.

  • WOMEN in the 2018 OLYMPIC and PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES: an Analysis of Participation, Leadership, and Media Coverage
    WOMEN IN THE 2018 OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES: An Analysis of Participation, Leadership, and Media Coverage November 2018 A Women’s Sports Foundation Report www.WomensSportsFoundation.org • 800.227.3988 Foreword and Acknowledgments This report is the sixth in the series that follows the progress of women in the Olympic and Paralympic movement. The first three reports were published by the Women’s Sports Foundation. The fourth report was published by SHARP, the Sport, Health and Activity Research and Policy Center for Women and Girls. SHARP is a research center at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender, co-founded by the Women’s Sports Foundation. The fifth report, published in 2017 by the Women’s Sports Foundation, provided the most accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date examination of the participation trends among female Olympic and Paralympic athletes and the hiring trends of Olympic and Paralympic governing bodies with respect to the number of women who hold leadership positions in these organizations. The sixth report examines the same issues for the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. It is intended to provide governing bodies, athletes, and policymakers at the national and international level with new and accurate information with an eye toward making the Olympic and Paralympic movement equitable for all. These reports can be found at: https://www.womenssportsfoundation.org/research/articles-and-reports/all/ The Women’s Sports Foundation is indebted to the study authors, Emily Houghton, Ph.D., Lindsay Pieper, Ph.D., and Maureen Smith, Ph.D., whose research excellence brought this project to fruition.

The mass start was used, for example, in the one of the first races, the ‘Inferno’ in Mürren Switzerland, developed by a group of British skiers. Modern variations of the ‘mass start’ concept were first used in snowboarding and now in skiing since the late 1990’s. Ski Cross is an action packed event with Athletes using a combination of skills competing head to head on a Cross Course with rollers, bank turns and jumps, all done with an attitude. “First through the finish wins.” SKI CROSS OVERVIEW Internationally, Ski Cross is governed by the Freestyle branch of the FIS and therefore the FIS Freestyle ICR is the rule book used to govern Ski Cross. The instructions and rules contained in this document are only a summary of the rules of Ski Cross. THE HISTORY OF SKI CROSS The Canadian Ski Cross team was formed in June of 2007 after the IOC decision to include the freestyle discipline into the Olympic program for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games (OWG) in Vancouver, BC - following a very successful introduction of its sibling discipline Snowboard Cross at the 2006 OWG in Torino, Italy. In essence the Alpine Canada Ski Cross program focused solely on World Cup, World Championships, and Olympic Winter Games performance in alignment with the funding requirements set forth via Own The Podium (OTP).

  • 2021-22 NYSEF Freeride Program Info
    2021 - 2022 NYSEF Freeride Program We use the term Freeride to define the many disciplines within the sports of skiing and snowboarding not related to traditional nordic or alpine ski racing. Below are descriptions of each of the disciplines and some of the terminology used to describe each. Freestyle skiing – The foundation for what we call Freestyle skiing are the traditional sports of Moguls(M) and Aerials(A). The word “freestyle '' can also be used as a general term to describe snowboarding & skiing disciplines such as Halfpipe, Slopestyle, & Railjam which involves tricks, jumps, and terrain park features, such as rails, boxes, jibs, or other obstacles. Slopestyle (SS) – a judged skiing/snowboarding event held on a terrain-park course consisting of a variety of jumps, boxes, and rails. Skiercross (SX) – Also called Ski Cross. Downhill race with as many as six athletes in a heat on a course consisting of a variety of jumps, banked turns, and rollers. Athletes are normally seeded by way of an individual time trial prior to heat racing. The top athletes in each heat advance to the next round while the others are eliminated. Boardercross (BX) – Also called Snowboard Cross (SBX). Same as above with snowboarders. Railjam(RJ)(R) – Railjams are ski and/or snowboard events held solely on rails or box features in a jam-style format. In this format athletes take as many runs as possible in a predetermined time period and may or may not proceed to a final round. Can be judged by a panel of judges or by the competitors themselves.
