Since ski cross has been added to the Olympic Winter Games program, interest in the event has escalated. So, the FIS Freestyle Committee has introduced new qualification standards for entry into the ski cross World Cup, which will be valid from the 2008/09 season. To be entered into the FIS World Cup ski cross events, competitors will either be able to use their Freestyle FIS points or Alpine FIS points. A competitor with 100 Alpine FIS Points or less in any alpine event will be qualified to participate in the FIS ski cross World Cup. The ski cross Freestyle FIS point level is set at 20 – 40 Freestyle FIS points for the basic quota and more than 40 FIS points for additional quota spots. ...
Also, in order to qualify for the 2010 Olympic Games, skiers will need to participate in ski cross events in the Freestyle FIS World Cup or the FIS Freestyle World Championships, and be placed within the top 30. A total of 70 quota spots will be available for the first Olympic ski cross competitions at the Vancouver Games in February 2010, 35 for the ladies and 35 for men.
