Standing and Visually Impaired Classes Considerations fast downhills with curves & corners can be difficult or unsafe for VI shorter loops that VI can more easily become familiar with course reduction of A climb (LW classes – no poles) TC in low range (eg 150-180m for 5km) gg
Sitting Classes Can not follow FIS Homologation due to sitting position and double poling propulsion only gg

Sitting Classes Considerations Uphill steepness is critical – max grade & length! Downhills < 12-14% with straight runouts or small uphills to break speed, avoid fast curves Corners and turns should be placed where speed is slow – including flats & stadium - minimum 15m radius Banking can help in sharp high speed turns Flat trails (no side slope!) Rolling courses better than flat courses Minimum course widths: 3m (2 tracks) gg
Stadium Layouts Skiing through stadium less important Space for standing and sit ski courses Biathlon range incl 150m penalty loop gg
