Save the Date for your best U14s'


KANDAHAR JUNIOR 2018 From 12 to 14 January 2018 the Ski Club Les Houches (France)

organizes the fourth edition of the Kandahar Junior race in the ski area of Les Houches - Chamonix Mont Blanc - France.

In the very same ski area where the world’s best downhill skiers

regularly meet for the Kandahar FIS world cup races, this race will bring together the best category U14 teams, coming from the foremost European Alpine skiing nations.

The Kandahar Junior is sponsored by Yannick Bertrand, who was an alpine ski racer on the French World Cup team for 15 years and served as a ski coach at the Ski Club les Houches during the 2014/2015 season.

120 girls and 120 boys in the U14 category, grouped into 60 mixed teams, will compete for 3 days in 2 “géant pro” runs, 2 slalom runs (SL) and 2 giant runs (GS).

Each race will have its individual ranking and awards, and moreover

contribute to a team ranking, calculated by adding the best times of the best boy and girl of the team in each of the three races.

The winning club team will win the challenge "Les Houches - Mont

Blanc - Ski Cup", a trophy which will return to Les Houches every year, except in case of three consecutive wins by the same club. In this case that club retains the cup forever.

The first editions saw teams compete for Italian, Swedish, Belgian,

Scottish, British and French ski clubs. The fourth edition strives to welcome, in addition to nations already present in 2017, teams from Germany, Austria, Russia and Spain.

Les Houches Ski Club as the organizer is committed on one hand to fostering team spirit, on the other hand to ensuring parity between girls and boys.

RULES & RANKING The maximum number of participants is set by the organizers at 120

girls and 120 boys. In consequence, each nation or club is assigned a maximum quota of

teams that can be registered. The starting lists are established by a draw out of the overall participant

lists. The girls and boys will compete in a “géant pro” (2 runs), a slalom (2

runs) and a giant (2 runs). All participants will join in both of the runs per race even in case of

abandonment or disqualification during the first run, with the exception of the “géant pro” night run, where only the fastest 30 of the first run will participate in the second run, and also except in case of adverse meteorological developments.

The individual rankings by disciplines will be established after each race

taking into account the total time of the two runs.

The rankings of the teams and of the nations will be determined on the basis of a points system based on the times of each participant. Only the points of the best girl and boy of each team and nation for each race will be added up to determine the final winners and podium places in each category.

The organizing club reserves the right to modify the racing conditions or

the ranking to take into account changed conditions, including of the weather.
