RSD’s work with Event Organizers to coordinate a series schedule with minimal overlaps, recruit new host mountains, facilitate and assist the IFSA with communication, as well as coordinating with Regional Head Judge and Regional Head Technical Directors

Technical Director: Under the direction of the event organizer, the technical director (TD) is responsible for the competition aspect of each event. TDs are credentialed, experienced, and competent in event management, safety guidelines, and following IFSA rules and best operating practices. The TD, with input from the head judge, has the final authority on the safety of the event as well as any issues resulting in conflict. This includes any interpretation of rules and protocols laid out in the IFSA handbook such as venue features and closures. The event organizer and TD will interface with ski patrol to establish that an emergency response plan is in place.

Our directors are supported by POC.
