FIPS Congress 2011
Rusutsu, Japan
In early April, 2011 the Federation de Patrole de Ski will be holding their next Congress in the Japanese resort of Rusutsu on the island of Hokkaido, not far from the famed powder runs of Niseko Hirafu.
ASPA sends a delegation to each Congress and encourages the participation of all patrollers by funding a number of delegates. There are conditions attached to this funding, in that the delegate must prepare and deliver a presentation while at the Congress, report on a part of the Congress upon their return and present the outcomes of the Congress upon their return home.
The process for determining the makeup of the delegation involves submitting an application detailing the presentation that each prospective delegate wishes to make. The closing date for these to be submitted falls during August 2010, with the successful applicants being informed during October.
The themes for consideration include:
Innovations in Education and Delivery
Medical Drugs in Ski Patrolling
Discussion on Terrain Parks
