Digital waiver

CWSAA is excited to be partnering with 1Risk on the digital waiver for the upcoming 2018-19 season.

Here's the link for the digital waiver: 

The digital form is best filled out on a hand held device.  If using a PC to fill out the form, the web browser must be either Chrome or Fire Fox.  Not adaptable with Internet Explorer.

The digital waiver format is a different format from the past paper form.  In the past, information filled out on the first page of the form was for the intended passholder. 

With the digital form, it's assuming you are of legal age or the parent/guardian signing on behalf of the minor.  

The first part of the form is where the legal age athlete or parent/guardian must initial that they have read the following:

• Information on Competitor Pass Program & Alpine Responsibility Code
• Assumption of Risks
• Release of Liability and Waiver of Claims
• Ski Area Operator Day Pass Exclusion of Liability

Once all of 4 green boxes have been initialed, a blue box will appear to initial.  Then the app takes the signee to the 'my info' area.  Again, this area is intended for the person filling out the form and of legal age.  The legal age is 19 years of age except for athletes residing in Albert which is 18 years of age.

Once the parent/guardian enters in their information into the 'my info', they need to select 'I am parent/guardian (not participating) signing for minors'.  Then they need to select 'my minors' and enter in the minor's information.

Photo Uploader App

To ease the gathering of photos, CWSAA has a photo uploader app on our website.

All Area Passes: Submission deadlines and process for 2018/19

by Keven Dubinsky | Jun 20, 2018 | Member News

What are the costs and deadlines?

1. Athlete passes will cost $ 582.75.
2. Coaches passes will cost $ 1,165.50.
3. Members must be registered with BC Alpine in the appropriate category by Aug 15, 2018.
4. Clubs need to submit the list of athletes and coaches applying via the web submission found at https://bcalpine.com/reg/ by Aug 15, 2018.
5. Athlete selected to receive passes will need to complete the next (currently undetermined) step of the registration process by Sept 7, 2018. This may be paperwork like previous years or a new online registration method.  We are currently awaiting confirmation of this and will update once we know more.

Application Process:

1. Eligible Athletes / Coaches: Please contact your club regarding their deadlines and application requirements. All dates listed in this article are based on when BC Alpine requires the paperwork from your club and they may require some lead time to compile the data on their side and send it in to us.
2. Clubs: Clubs must submit all of their requests for passes directly through the BC Alpine Club Admin area. The link to the online form will be found under the "Registration" tab as shown in the preview below, and will only allow you to submit for members who are currently registered and eligible to apply. This should make the process much easier for most clubs and will give you an automatic total owing for the applications submitted. It will also allow you to see which forms BC Alpine has received and which are outstanding.

   

2018/2019 Season Registration Info – A MUST READ FOR FIS MEMBERS

by Keven Dubinsky | May 15, 2018 | Member News

All Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance and Sport Accident Insurance Policy (SAIP) purchased during the 2017/2018 season will expire on June 30^th 2018. As of July 1^st all insurance must be renewed for anyone participating in summer programs.

To make this transition easier BC Alpine closed the 2017-18 season's registration on May 1^st and has started accepting early registrations for the 2018-19 season. Clubs running summer programs must have their registrations for both coaches and participants completed before the summer programs get underway.

FIS registrants:

If you would like to make the base list #1 you need to be registered with BC Alpine via your club no later than June 25^th, 2018.  Registrations will of course be accepted after this time, however list #2 will likely not be published until mid-August. This means any requests to race during the summer (southern hemisphere events) would require immediate points activation at an additional cost if you are not in before the list #1 deadline.
At the time of publishing this, not all of the required FIS paperwork forms have been made available to us, so please check this link for the paperwork where they will be uploaded when they become available: https://bcalpine.com/files/Registration_Files/FIS_Registration/ 
Important: The "2018-2019 Medical Evaluation Document.pdf" form is already available and does require a visit to a doctor to complete, so you can print that form and book your appointment to have it completed.

Important note regarding costs and paperwork:
Although we anticipate no changes to registration prices for the upcoming season we have not received confirmation of prices yet from Alpine Canada for either registrations or SAIP. If a member registers, and their category price increases after they have registered, they will be given the opportunity to remove their registration without penalty.

Event Admins – Clubs can once again manage events on the calendar directly!

by Keven Dubinsky | Nov 15, 2017 | Member News

A feature that was missing last season in the BC Alpine Club Admin DB has been reintegrated for the upcoming season.  Clubs can once again directly manage much of the important info about the events which have been assigned to them including:

• Race Notice: Upload a race notice, or delete / replace the existing race notice.
• Additional Files: Upload one or more additional files to be attached to events. This could include specialized entry information, local accomodation deals, maps, etc.
• Volunteer Sign Up: Enable the built-in volunteer sign up, or link to your own web based volunteer sign up.
• Live Timing Link: Enable live-timing links for your races from the calendar.
• Online Race Entry: Enable the build-in race entry system on raceentry.AlpineCalendar.ca or link to your own web based race entry system.

Important Notes:

1. Only members who have CAL ("Calendar") access in the BC Alpine Club Admin DB will find the new "Manage Events" link once they've logged in.
2. If any events which are hosted by your club are not showing up in your list, please contact Keven Dubinsky directly to have him make sure you have access.
