How is competitive snowboarding organized?
The snowboarding world in Canada is governed by the Canadian Snowboarding Federation (CSF) and under that umbrella, provincial organizations. The governing body in our province is the Alberta Snowboard Association (ASA). The CSF oversees the National Snowboard Team which competes at World Cups and represents Canada at the Olympics. CSF hosts FIS-sanctioned competitions throughout the season as well as an annual, national competition of athletes who are nominated by their respective provinces; and, when appropriate, invites athletes from across the country to participate in development camps. The ASA nominates Alberta athletes to the CSF annual, national competition, based on overall results at the season’s provincial competitions.
