Notes on Site Familiarization (SF):

Skiers may register for SF at the ski site on Tuesday, August 24th from 12 noon to 5PM EST, and also Wednesday morning, August 25^th, beginning at 7AM EST.

 SF will start at 8AM EST on Wednesday, August 25th.

 The SF order of events will be Trick, Jump, Slalom (less Vision impaired), and finally, Vision Impaired Slalom.   

Skiers will register in person for SF at the site on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday, paying their SF fee at the time their name is added to the running order.  The fee per set is $10.  A set consists of 4 slalom passes, 4 trick passes, or 3 jumps.  If a skier is not ready to ski when their name is called they will be bypassed.  Once there are no SF skiers in line and ready to ski in a particular event, SF in the next scheduled event will begin with no backtracking for those who missed their SF opportunity.  The LOC will provide notice of SF skiers’ running order and the impending close of SF in any event before moving to the next skier or event.  TRICK SKIERS MUST BE AWARE THAT THEY ARE FIRST OFF THE DOCK AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY!

Foreign skiers may register for SF as an individual and foreign Pan Am competition teams may register for SF as a group, following the same rules as given in the paragraph above.  Pan Am teams will provide a written running order for their team skiers in each event when they register for SF.  Teams will await their place in the running order in each event, and when that team arises to the top of the running order the first skier on their list must be ready to take to the water, same as any individual skier.  Once we start a team’s first skier in an event his/her teammates will follow consecutively in whatever order the team representative registering the skiers has indicated at the time of registration.  Team skiers must be ready to ski as their name rises to the top of the list or they will lose their SF opportunity for that event.
