General Equipment Guidelines
Currently, the USCSA which governs our races follows USSA Equipment Regulations. We compete in both Slalom and Giant Slalom for Racing. Athletes U14 and older must use helmets that meet the FIS standards for all sanctioned Giant Slalom Competitions. Helmets must cover the head and ears. Helmets with spoilers or edges that stick out are not permitted. Protective features integral to the event being contested, such as chin guards on slalom helmets are permitted. Soft ear protection is only permitted for helmets used in slalom. Helmets are mandatory for all, team on-hill practices and Races. Snowboarders and Freestylers must wear helmets to they just don't need to meet the FIS standards.
