33rd BRITISH INTERSCHOOL SKI CHAMPS, Slalom & GS
10-11 March 2025
BSA CHAMPS, Slalom & GS
12-13 March 2025
This season the British Ski Academy is proud to host the 33rd BRITISH INTERSCHOOL SKI CHALLENGE and BSA CHAMPS in the world class resort of VERBIER, SWITZERLAND
Race piste: La Tzoumaz/Savoleyre
Team Captains’ Meetings
The first TCM will take place at 1800 on 9th March 2025 via Zoom. Bibs will be available at the finish area of each day’s event. Race bibs for all events will be collected at the end of the second run in the finish area. Bibs not returned after the race will result in an £80 penalty to the guardian of the athlete.
As soon as possible after each day’s racing we will hold the TCM inside the Restaurant de Savoleyre. Award ceremonies for the British Interschools and the BSA Champs will be held outside the restaurant after Tuesday’s and Thursday’s races.
Race Entry Details
All British competitors must either be registered with their respective Home Nation (Snowsport Scotland, England or Wales) or have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian. All competitors must have a current insurance policy that covers them for ski racing. The Organising Committee may require proof of insurance such as a valid governing body race licence or an independent certificate of insurance. No insurance = No Racing All entries should be made via the official online entry system on www.britskiacad.org.uk/events Fees = £120 for Interschools (2 days) and £120 for BSA Champs (2 days). An Entry List will be published on www.gbski.com. Bulletins and Zoom links will be circulated via GBSki, BSA social media pages and, from 6 March, an event WhatsApp group.
Ski Passes
LA TZOUMAZ/SAVOLEYRES passes for 08 through 13 January will be available for purchase through the organisers.
This covers a big area between Verbier and La Tzoumaz but not all of the resort. Booking information to follow in early October.
Infant pass (2010-2017), approx £20 per day
Junior pass (2000-2009), approx £30 per day
Adult pass (1948-1999), approx £35 per day
Refunds
In the case of withdrawal from any event due to injury (prior to the championships) refunds will be available on production of a doctor’s letter. Refunds will not be available for adverse weather or snow conditions that result in the cancellation of races. The organisers & hill team will do their utmost to ensure that all of the races are run in full.
Volunteers and Support
Whilst we have a team travelling from the UK for the race, we do require additional help to run the races smoothly. The resort provide gatekeepers so we only require a handful of parents to help with roles such as finish board and marshalling. Please email: malcolm@britskiacad.org.uk
Catsuits for U10/U12 if the weather is fine
The TCM will consider the weather forecast each day and decide whether or not to allow the U10/U12s to compete in catsuits. Be prepared. If the weather turns foul, Mini racers arriving at the start in catsuits will not be permitted to leave the gate. Racers are reminded that helmets for giant slalom must conform to GB rules, i.e. no soft sides, soft vents, and remove slalom chin guard.
Parents time trial
Just for fun, if time allows after Monday's Mini Giant Slalom we will offer a free timed run to parents of U10/U12 racers. Details nearer the time but we anticipate Parent & Child Team medals based on aggregate run times.
Conduct
The resort have asked that competitors ski in a safe manner on the public pistes, or with due regard for the safety and enjoyment of other hill users. In particular please slow down well before joining the lift queue. Racers caught skiing dangerously may be excluded from the races. Keep ski-passes with you. No ticket, no lift. And finally, please, let's keep Verbier beautiful -- no littering!
