Snowsport England Grand Prix Series 2010

Following consultation with racers, parents and coaches, changes are being put in place for the 2010 Grand Prix Series.

2009 Series Age group winners will receive free entry into next year’s races.

There are 6 races planned for next year, three on indoor snow and three on the outdoor plastic slopes. They will be spread over 4 weekends with, on two weekends, races taking place on Saturday and Sunday at slopes close to each other, and two traditional Grand Prix and Club National race weekends completing the Series.

The indoor and outdoor races will each count as separate Series with the Series age group winners being awarded free entry into the corresponding Series the following year. Trophies will be awarded to the overall and age group winners from all six races and points collected in all six events will count.

The seed point cut-off for Grand Prix races will be increased from the current 250 points to 300.

We are currently negotiating the dates with the various slopes but are seeking to avoid both exam times and the summer holiday period. Further details of dates and locations will be published soon.
