PROVINCIAL RACE SERIES

Who: Competitors born in 1997 - 1998

Skill Level: Long Term Skier Development - Learn to Train

Where: Provincial and National

INTRODUCTION

The K1 Series is a provincial program intended to progress young skiers from the Learn to Train to the Learn to Race stages of skill development. The program provides a competitive series for 11 and 12 year old skiers, which allows them to test their skills against their peers at a provincial level.

The K1 program also develops ski specific physical and mental skills, and continues to develop the technical skills learned in the Nancy Greene Ski League. The Husky Snow Stars program is an excellent teaching tool, and clubs should pursue the goal of having a high percentage of K1 skiers achieve Level 7.

PROVINCIAL AWARDS

• The total of the competitor’s points earned in all series races will determine his / her placing in the Provincial Series and the top three male and female Provincial Series point holders will receive awards.
• In the event of a tie in a race or a series final, both racers will receive the points and awards for the tied position. The position following the tie will be unassigned.
