Entry depends on the competition level, the relevant age limits and FIS eligibility requirements. A compliant helmet is compulsory. Riders must know their discipline’s rules and follow the jury’s inspection instructions; inspection is not permission to race down a closed course.
In practice
Alpine inspection is a slow examination of the course, not a practice run through the gates. Snowboard cross requires inspection before training and an official training run before competition; banked slalom also requires a training run. Wear the required visible bib and respect opening and closing times.
