Official Notice Board is the is a key information and communication element in the start and the finish off all ski competitions. The Notice Board needs to be located at a convenient place near the start where all the team officials and athletes can see the official communications and the posting of provisional final results. |
Buckets - 5 gallon: The five gallon bucket is a common plastic (polyethylene) container size in the United States. They are approx. fifteen inches tall with a diameter of twelve inches. Two or three reinforcement collars are located near the top. A wire or plastic handle is usually attached to the top three inches. The buckets are able to nest in one another. The 5 gallon bucket is also known as the 18 or 20 liter bucket. |
Dye is prepared using a combination of water, windshield washer fluid and a dark blue colouring agent. The colouring agent most often cited is blue liquid food coloring, although other water soluble dye in liquid or powder form is also used. The coloring agent must be able to emulsify in both water and alcohol. |

Tent is a shelter consisting of sheets of fabric or other material draped over or attached to a frame of poles or attached to a supporting rope. While smaller tents may be free-standing or attached to the ground, large tents are usually anchored using guy ropes tied to stakes or tent pegs. |
A portable toilet is a modern, portable, self-contained outhouse manufactured of molded plastic in a variety of colors and is often used as a temporary toilet for construction sites and large gatherings and events. |
Public address system (PA system) is an electronic amplification system with a mixer, amplifier and loudspeakers, used to reinforce a sound source, e.g., a person giving a speech, a DJ playing prerecorded music, and distributing the sound throughout a venue or building. |
Radio is the transmission of signals by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible light. This can be detected and transformed into sound or other signals that carry information. |
Snowmobile is a land vehicle for winter travel on snow. Designed to be operated on snow and ice, they require no road or trail. Design variations enable some machines to operate in deep snow or forests; most are used on open terrain, including frozen lakes, or driven on paths or trails. Usually built to accommodate a driver and perhaps one adult passenger, their use is much like motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) intended for winter use. |
Gate key is a tool comprising a short open-slotted length of tubular steel used to screw hinged gate poles into holes drilled in the snow. Gate Keys have two teeth at the end of the tube which slip over and fit into the hinge collar on the screw-in gate pole.(Right hand thread) |
|
Snow scoop is a push type of large snow shovel adapted for faster and easier removal of snow, without the need for manual lifting. The scoop usually includes a stamped, one-piece metal / plastic body having a relatively lightweight, rigid construction which facilitates shearing of snow from the surface to be cleaned and the easy ejection of snow from the scoop. |
