SKI CROSS OVERVIEW: Internationally, Ski Cross is governed by the Freestyle branch of the FIS (Federation International de Ski) and therefore the FIS Freestyle ICR is the rule book used to govern Ski Cross. The instructions and rules contained in this document are based on the rules of Ski Cross. Ski Cross was accepted under the Alpine Canada umbrella in June 2010 and is structured as a discipline of the alpine.
