Alpine Forum & Alpine Sport Committee Elections

Snow Sports NZ will hold its annual Alpine Forum in Queenstown on Sunday 12 June. The new Alpine Sport Committee will be announced at the Forum.

Snow Sports NZ will accept applications from members wishing to stand for the Alpine Sport Committee until 30 May. Online and postal voting will be open from 3 June until 5pm on 10 June. Voting will also be open on the day of the Alpine Forum, Sunday 12 June, from 3pm to 4:30pm at Queenstown Events Centre.

Members of Snow Sports NZ (Alpine) may exercise their vote for the Alpine Sport Committee by completing an electronic form instead of voting at the Alpine Forum on 12 June 2016. Snow Sports NZ encourages members to attend the Alpine Forum if at all possible.

The role of the Alpine Sport Committee is to provide sport-specific input directly to the Snow Sports NZ management team. The snow sport committees are a key element to the success of the sport, event and coaching pathways. 

Snow Sports NZ seeks nominations from people: 

with a passion for Alpine Ski Racing;

with sufficient knowledge, time and energy to drive the sport forward;

who have a vision of what needs to happen to increase the number of competitors and the success of New Zealand athletes on the world stage.

To stand for election or to vote in the Alpine Sport Committee elections, you must be a member of Snow Sports NZ and over 16 years of age. Membership renewal is available here or new members can sign up here.
