Official Progr Am OFFICIAL PROGRAM MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER Created in 2007, the IF3 Festival quickly grew into one of the world’s marquee freeski film events, showcasing the cinematographic talent and skills of athletes from here and around the globe. Today, the festival draw crowds from every sector of the ski community: athletes, producers, photographers, industry representatives and sports enthusiasts and ski and snowboard freeriders of all ages from over 20 countries. With three days of festivities, IF3 helps drive the democratiza- tion of sport and contributes to the vitality of Montréal—and of Québec as a whole. The Government of Québec gladly and proudly encourages this dynamic and fruitful initiative. Congratulations to the promoters, who have suc- ceeded in turning IF3 into a major international gathering. I wish you all an excellent festival and an unforgettable stay in the Montréal region and invite you to come discover—or rediscover— Québec’s fantastic ski slopes. Have a great festival!

    Glossary of Ski Terms by Skis.com Page 1 of 11 Home > Ski-O-Pedia > Glossary of Ski Terms Glossary of Ski Terms By Steve Kopitz 12/18/2012 Skiing and snowboarding are two of the greatest winter sports on the planet, and like anything else in this world the two sports have certain terms and jargon that can be confusing without a bit of definition. Below you will find a number of terms/phrases used in skiing and snowboarding to refer to products, clothing, and the sports of skiing and snowboarding in general. We have provided a brief definition to help clear up any confusion or questions you may have on these terms/phrases. A ABS Sidewall: Industry term for a type of edge construction on skis and snowboards using high quality ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic. All-Mountain Ski: A large percentage of Alpine skis fall into this category. All-Mountain skis are designed to perform in all types of snow conditions and at most speeds. Other names for this style of ski include Mid- Fat skis, All-Purpose skis, and the One-ski Quiver. Alpine Skiing: Downhill skiing, as opposed to Nordic Skiing. Après-Ski: The day’s over – time for drinks and swapping war stories from the slopes. Audio Helmet: A helmet wired with speakers that allows you to listen to music while skiing. Avalanche Beacon: A safety device worn by skiers, snowboarders, and others in case an avalanche traps them. The beacon transmits a signal (typically at the international standard frequency of 457khz) that rescuers can use to locate a buried person.

  • SKI TOURING in NORWAY Ski Touring in USA, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Sweden and Their Perceptions of Norway As a Ski Touring Destination
    Knowledge transfer project: SKI TOURING IN NORWAY Ski touring in USA, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Sweden and their perceptions of Norway as a ski touring destination 2017‐2018 Contents Summary and key findings Ski touring France pages 1 – 30 Ski touring Germany, Austria, Switzerland pages 31 – 62 Ski touring Spain pages 63 – 76 Ski touring US pages 77 – 92 Ski touring Sweden pages 93 – 114 Photo: Håvard Myklebust – visitnorway.com Summary and key findings This project is a cooperation between Innovation Norway and NCE Tourism Fjord Norway. The project was conducted by Innovation Norway’s offices in France, Germany, USA, Spain and Sweden in 2017‐18. The project has been done in two phases. First we did a desktop survey scanning the markets’ ski touring tour operators, web sites, organizations, magazines and festivals. Secondly we conducted interviews with the most relevant tour operators in each market. The results are shown in this report. We hope that this report can contribute in the production of high quality ski touring adventures in Norway. Key results and take‐home messages are mentioned in this summary, but we recommend you to read the whole report. Opportunities ‐ There is an increased interest for ski touring in France, Germany, Spain and Sweden. In USA, the demand seems to remain stable. ‐ Sales of ski touring equipment has increased largely in France, ‐ Ski touring will most likely not become a volume activity, due to high demand of physical abilities, good mountain and snow knowledge and a certain income (France) ‐ In USA, Norway enjoys a strong association with skiing.

Though some, not all, of these objections were ostensibly addressed in their responses, they were not addressed fully nor adequately. I raised concerns regarding Meadows assumptions on growth in demand for Alpine skiing. The last ten years MHM stated continued growth trends, but actually the most recent previous two years that has not been the trend. The true growth is in Nordic skiing. The majority of the Nordic community is against the creation of the Twilight lot without a comprehensive analysis of potential future use of this terrain, and nearby Nordic trails and connecting trails. This type of analysis has not been done, and would be precluded by proceeding with the construction of the Twilight lot before all future use options have been considered. Second, I asked that MHM be required by the FS to place the funds, $500,000, for a Nordic center in a designated account for a future Nordic center building, and a restrictive timeline for construction. If the parking lot is to be built, the Nordic community should have some prior input on the Nordic facility to be built prior to the lots final approval. The response that was posted simply stated that "a" facility would be built within three years.
