New clothing rule for PGS/PSL

Jun. 8, 2010

RULE CHANGE: NEW CLOTHING RULES
In terms of adopted rule changes, Canada also presented a motion with regards to clothing regulations for the Alpine events. As of this upcoming season, the disciplines of Alpine snowboarding (PGS, PSL) will move towards a two-piece suit instead of the ski racing one-piece skin-tight suit.

The Alpine disciplines will now adhere to the same clothing regulations as the snowboardcross riders. The philosophy of the rule change revolves around respecting the culture of snowboarding, as well as making the sport more accessible to young riders at the provincial and club levels.
