As far as Tremblant, Mont Blanc & Le Relais: If you're not a Canadian, you need to sent a written confirmation from USSA that you are in "good standing" ( = pay your fees :) ). Otherwise, any FIS athletes can compete, even a first-timer can register in a NorAm event. Tremblant race notice: http://snowboardquebec.org/wp-content/uploads/info-tremblant-jan11-en.pdf If you want to compete in one of our Non-FIS event, you need to have a valid competitor license from any Canadian province.( Insurance...) As far as the World Cup in Stoneham...this is an other business:rolleyes:

You can find more infos on your website: http://snowboardquebec.org/evenements/calendrier/ Sorry, an english version will follow :)

In Quebec, we are running a NorAm double event ( PGS/PSL ) for the last 6 years at "Le Relais" in Quebec city. This year, the event will be on February 12th-13th, a week prior to the World Cup PGS event in Stoneham We will also run a FIS-GS event at Mont Blanc, close to Tremblant at the end of January. We have run a PGS event for the last 3 years at Mont Blanc. ( Easier to run a GS event ) Finally we will run a FIS-PGS event at Tremblant by January 6th. We have run the Canadian Championship at Tremblant for the last 2 years. Plus we have 2 other non-FIS events, one of them is a very popular Saturday night event. All those events are "PROFITABLE". ;) Plus, this has created a group of dedicated young racers among Quebec racers. At the end of last season, 4 of our Juniors were among the 25 first World Junior ranked. It just take a group of dedicated volunteers to run those events...
