Happy Easter,

Referee shadow protocol established
Because of confusion so far this season with the Referee shadow assignments, a protocol has been created after a meeting with the Alpine Officials Committee and Troy Price.
It is important that the new referees, TDs and Chiefs of Race read this document. In addition, I have attached the form that needs to be completed by the mentoring referee. If the Race Organizers could have this on hand, that would be great.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

New rule protects NPS athletes
A new rule was just handed down from the Western Region protecting athletes who attend the NPS project in Burke that conflicts with the U16 Qualifiers at Snowbird.
Here is the new rule:
The Region requires that Divisions protect athletes that are selected and participate in the 2023 NPS projects that conflict with the Divisional qualifying process. These athletes will be selected as part of the Divisional quota. Athletes that attend the NPS series should participate in non conflicting qualifiers within their Division.
The U16 Boards will have the NPS attendees’ names at the top of the board even though they will have zero points after the Snowbird race. As these athletes score world cup points at the other qualifiers, they will be moved to where they objectively qualify. If they fail to qualify objectively, they will be automatics and will use one of our quota spots.
2022-23 Sean Nurse results are in
The results from the Sean Nurse Giant Slaloms and Slaloms in Jackson Hole are in. Today’s final day of Slaloms was canceled due to extreme cold weather.

2022 safety grant program opens
To US Ski & Snowboard Alpine member clubs:
The Kelly Brush Foundation is excited to announce that our 2022 Ski Racing Safety Grant Program application is now OPEN. The application deadline is Friday, June 24, 2022.
This is your opportunity to receive support from the Kelly Brush Foundation to purchase safety equipment. Is your B-Net starting to age and need replacement? Do you need more netting for proper safety installations? Are you opening a new race or training trail? Do you have other obstacles that need better protection?
ABOUT THE KBF’S SKI RACING SAFETY MISSION
APPLY HERE
DEADLINE: Friday, June 24, 2022
Please share this email with everyone on the team at your club that makes on-hill safety as well as budget decisions.
We at the Kelly Brush Foundation hope safety is always a priority discussion at your club. Since Kelly’s injury in 2006 we have been committed to leading the discussion on safety and have backed up our advocacy with almost 200 grants to clubs around the country to improve safety on their venue. If you have any questions about our grant program, your application, or anything else about the Kelly Brush Foundation’s ski racing safety mission, don’t hesitate to reach out.
About the KBF Ski Racing Safety Equipment Grant Program
The Kelly Brush Foundation Ski Racing Safety Grant Program is intended to help Alpine ski race programs and venues purchase safety equipment. All grants are matching (meaning we will only fund up to half of an equipment purchase). We have been administering this program for 15 years in addition to the safety advocacy and educational programming we provide the ski racing community.
About the KBF
Since Kelly sustained a spinal cord injury ski racing in an NCAA D-I race in 2006, we are proud of the change we’ve driven in the culture of safety. We have helped purchase over 15 miles of b-netting, supported trail widening projects, and contributed to other safety measures at hundreds of venues around the country. We are confident that every US Ski & Snowboard Alpine racer around the country races at least one venue (or many more) every year that we have made safer.

Thank you for your commitment to safety and please reach out with any questions.
Best,
Zeke Davisson

Here is the 4/2/2022 updated race announcement for the U14/U12 Spring Series at Targhee:
2022 Bryce Astle IMC final weekend nears
The 2022 Bryce Astle IMC Series will end this weekend with the finale being at Snowbird. It has been a great series and we’ve had two athletes dominate the Series!! The current overall standings are as follows:
Women
1. Reagan Harrison-JHSC
2. Natalie Gowe- SVSEF
3. Lowie Watkins- SVSEF
Men
1. Karsten Schillinger-RM
2. Max Meucci- SVSEF
3. Austin Aten- PCSS
Typically, the IMC awards would be awarded at the conclusion of these races. Due to a conflict with U16 Nationals in Sugarloaf, Maine, a lot of the award recipients will not be at the finale of the Bryce Astle IMC series. Instead the awards will be given out at the IMD Spring meetings in May. Hopefully next year, we will once again ring the cowbell in Bryce’s honor.
Good Luck to everyone at the SnowCup and Last Chance races.
