There are two sets of rules governing 'recognised' Alpine ski races. The first, the British Competition Rules ("BCR") apply to snow competitions. The second, the British Artificial Competition Rules ("BACR") apply to races on artificial slopes (dry slopes and indoor snow). In both cases, the base rulebook is the International Competition Rules ("ICR") published by the FIS.

The latest set of all Alpine rules and regulations are available for download from the GBski.com web site.
