Everybody on the track. As of yesterday adults, children and the elderly will be able to do it. And the merit of the found, in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, is The tribe (Italian Winter Sports Federation) which has decided expand all Its members the rating of “Sportsman of national interest”. What does that mean? Which also sunday skier Or, paradoxically, even those who have seen the mountains only on postcards can aspire to become “athletes of national interest.” And to go skiing as soon as the ski areas open for those who compete in the World Cup. The go-ahead, announced a week ago, comes the day Regions Veneto, Piedmont, Aosta Valley, Lombardy, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the autonomous provinces of Bolzano and Trento, have formalized their proposal for Christmas holidays. Which, in practice, reads like this: yes to skiing for those who stay overnight at least one night in hotel or rent – or own – one House in alpine stations. “So – they say – we allow flow control to the ski resort. In fact, travel can be a problem on certain days. “But there is another request that the Northern Regions make to the government: allow mobility regional during the holidays. Which, they say, “is a necessary requirement for the sector.”
Just like him pulse Between the Technical-Scientific Committee and the Ministry of Health on the one hand, and the Alpine Arc Regions on the other, Fisi has made progress. To enjoy the snow, in fact, very little will be enough, that is get the card. Once you have obtained the (electronic) card, you will automatically enter one of the Federation’s “national interest” categories. Since eight year old boy (that after skiing for the weekend he will go to school and if he has caught a cold in altitude, it does not matter) until ninety years (Master category D12, for the record). In essence, there are no age limits to qualify for the grade that will allow you to hit the slopes.
And receiving the card, is it that difficult? One could imagine that the Fisi has bet. For example, show that you have competed, in life, and have reached certain scores (as in tennis). No way. We did the test vocation to the Federation and pretending to be amateur skiers who have never experienced a descent between the giant slalom poles. You can see the result – and hear it – in the video, but the essence is that we have received be the green light for the card both information to request it (the person we spoke to on the phone, it must be said, after a “go ahead”, advised us not to “be cunning”). So what is it for? Get in touch with one of the many ski clubs in Italy (or one of the many fan associations) and send them your name, address and tax code. The answer we got was “if you go in the afternoon tomorrow you are registered“.
From Fisi they let it be known that the option to extend the classification to all categories (after November 6 they had tightened the shirts, in fact, only for World Cup athletes) was taken after the State-Regions Conference. Basically when the Northern regions they had asked the government to open the ski areas, while sending a protocol, referring to the lifts, to ski safely. “The decision was made to promote the sport, do not circumvent the laws“They explained,” in addition, the ski clubs they move independently and from a legal point of view we do not have the tools to control or stop them ”. Last Thursday the president of Fisi, Flavio roda, had published in La Gazzetta dello Sport an open letter asking “open the mountain to everyone: to agonists and tourists. If the government continues in the line of intransigence […] You will take on a great responsibility. After so much damage, how boldly can we continue to talk about the wonders of the 2026 Olympics? ”. Be that as it may, in fan social groups skiing started there look for the Fisi card. And the dream of becoming “athletes of national interest.” And therefore skiing in the midst of a pandemic.
