ACR Alpine Competition Regulations

The NJISRA strives to make available to its members information about our current Alpine Competition Regulations and Bylaws, as well as changes that take place from year to year.

In 2025, the NJISRA separated the Alpine Competition Regulations (ACR) and the Bylaws into two separate documents. The Alpine Competition Regulations (ACR) for each season are a comprehensive list of Rules for athletes to review and abide by through the competitive season. To provide transparency and clarity for our membership, we provide a change log that highlights the updates made each year to the ACR and BYLAWS.
