FIS SEASON ACCREDITATION

International Ski Federation

FIS Season Accreditation

Aim

• Only for people who enjoy the FIS World Cup over several stations

• Clear definition of groups of persons and relevant accreditation categories

• Clear regulations concerning rights of access for the corresponding categories

• Accreditations for the World Cups (Alpine, Nordic, Freestyle, Snowboard)

• Validity of accreditations until 31st March 2008

• With the payment of the „special fee“ the holder is insured

• Digital accreditation system available.


Design

• For cost reasons and to simplify the accreditation system as well as for easier handling, the same accreditation cards are valid for the seasons 2006/07 and 2007/08.

• On these cards you will find personal details, space for a photo and the category of accreditation and the seasons in an easily readable size.


Accreditation categories

• Enclosed you will find a summary of categories specifying the individual groups such as National Ski Association, Industry etc.

• The discussions about this system held with representatives of National Ski Associations etc. as well as Organisers have shown that a clearer control is possible thanks to determination of the different groups of persons to different accreditation categories. This results in the corresponding rights of access to the single corridors in the finish area, media centre, etc. for the different groups of persons according to their function.


Special

• We must point out that generally the FIS season accreditation are only given to persons who visite more than 8 – 10 events. For persons visiting only a few FIS-World Cups, the FIS season accreditation will not be issued. They can require a day accreditation at the local organising committee.

• For individual visitors it is still possible to obtain an accreditation for the day, by presenting a document of legitimisation.

• The holder of a FIS season accreditation may only work within the category who applied for (e.g.: A service-person is no photographer).


Insurance

• Please take note, that we handle only correct filled in forms, included the picture, the valid identity card and the amount of CHF 25.00 / USD 17.00 / EURO 18.00.
