Snowboard PassageCNISSF Alpine Competitions

Revised: December 2011

A gate has been correctly passed when both feet of the competitor, fixed in both bindings, and the entire board cross the gate line outside the turning pole.

The gate line is the line that

starts at the tall pole, passes through the

stubbie (turning pole) horizontally

Correct Passage

Correct Passage

across the slope to the trail edge, but the correct passage must be outside

the turning pole

Legal vs Illegal clear

Stubby is run over and board goes to the wrong side

Entire Board “clears” stubby w/ both feet attached

You make the call

Stubby goes to outside: Clear or not a clear????

Stubby goes to inside

Here is the tough one

You need to see which way the stubby goes, and determine if:

Did the entire board “clears” the stubby and the board stays in the gate line?

Action PhotoYou need to see which way the stubby goes to determine if it is:

Fault or No-fault

Action PhotoYou need to see which way the stubby goes to determine if it is:

Fault or No-fault—Look really, really close!!!

Here is the tip of the stubby

Racer can hit the panelRacer may go through the panel but,

the entire board must make the “gate line”.

Racer may fall through the panelIf the racer is falling, (out of control), it is

still a “clear” if the board passes the stubby in the “gate line” with both feet attached

Racer may fall through the panelREPEAT: If the racer is falling, (out of

control), it is still a clear if the board passes the stubby in the “gate line.”

In this case, you must judge if the entire board went around where the stubby enters

the snow………tough call !!!!!
