Photo submissions have come in fast and furious since we posted the news about the 2007-08 Greenbook cover contest, making it difficult for the BC Alpine staff to decide which should end up as the semi-finalists for the online voting. As difficult as it was, we did however manage to narrow it down to four images, and now the choice is up to you! Voting has commenced and will continue until September 13th.
The winner of the contest will receive a Descente softshell jacket, will see their photo on the cover of the Greenbook and (of course) get BRAGGING RIGHTS for an entire year!
View finalists and vote for your favorite now!

FIS registration deadline is Aug 20th. At this deadline all required FIS paperwork (original "ink on paper" copies) must be received by BC Alpine’s office. Additionally, for new registrants this deadline is the last date on which you are eligable for the reduced registration price. Any registrations received after August 20th will fall under the $560 registration cost.
A list of currently registered athletes can be found here:

NOTE: Members on this list do not mean that they have successfully completed registration, only that they are currently "web-registered". If any member does not have all paperwork submitted on time they will have their names striken from this list and when their paperwork is properly submitted will be held to the late registration cost.
Additional information regarding FIS registration with BC Alpine can be found on the following PDF document:

All new FIS members may want to make sure that they have their numbers on record. We have imported the numbers from FIS to our database, which can be viewed online HERE.
Good luck to all new FIS registrants on the upcoming 2007-2008 season!

There has been some concern about how to run a Kombi race for national points with Split Second Software. This article describes how to do this.
Split Second does not ship this year with a Kombi option for running your race. You will have to set up the race as a GS or SL race within the software. Additionally the F Factor needs to be applied for the selected type of race to meet the Canadian Kombi numbers. If for instance you were running it as a GS, you would go to the Factors/Lists tab and change the F Factor from 880 to 745.
Now you simply run your race as usual. Once you get to the point that you need to upload your results however, we’ll need to make a change to the XML file before uploading it to the ACAPoints website. This change is minor and can be done one of two ways.
1. You can manually open the .xml file in a plain text editor such as NOTEPAD and change the <Discipline>SG</Discipline> to <Discipline>KK</Discipline>.
2. You can use the nifty little piece of software written by my brother Trevor Dubinsky to automaticly update the <Discipline> tag in the results for you. You can download this software via THIS LINK.
