  2. No remote controls or human contact with the dummy is allowed after launch.
  3. Dimensions
    – Not higher than 6 feet, lower than 3 feet or wider than 3 feet at the base.
    – Volume-weight up to a max of 100 lbs. MUST PASS WEIGH-IN.
  4. Only skis or snowboards are allowed to mount dummies on.
  5. Dummy names must be suitable for publication.
  6. One team member must go to the top of the course to launch the dummy.
  7. Owners are responsible for retrieving all dummy parts and pieces after the event.
