2022 Snowplanet Junior Interfield #2

Race Format:

• Kinder Kombi* (SL/GS Format)
• 2 x runs – Combined times

What is Kinder Kombi?
The Kinder Kombi or ‘Kombi’ is an event design to suit the developmental needs of the children’s age group
(U12, U14, U16). The course should consist of a mixture of standard turns and gates and should help develop a
tactical awareness by blending sections of different gates in a flowing, rhythmical, constantly changing pattern.
There can be two different forms of the Kombi: SL / GS Format (technical orientation), setting with GS gates or
coloured ground indicators and GS / SG Format (speed orientation), setting with GS and SG gates or coloured
ground indicators.
