Decisions of the FIS Council at its June 2021 Meeting

The newly elected FIS Council held its first meeting online on Tuesday, 22nd June. It was the first Council meeting led by FIS President Johan Eliasch. The Council dealt with a full agenda, namely the appointment of several key posts within the Council and the formation of several new Working Groups. 

Michele Vion (FRA) was appointed as the new FIS Secretary General. He will start in the role immediately, stepping down from his role as FIS Council member. In another announcement, Chiesa in Valmalenco (ITA) was appointed as the host of the 2022 Junior World Ski Championship Freestyle and Snowboard, with the Swiss resort of Leysin (SUI) hosting the Park & Pipe events for Snowboard and Freeski.

The Council also approved the renewal of a number of working groups and existing committees, in addition to the formation of several new ones. The newly-formed committees will need to be ratified at the next FIS Congress. Membership of all FIS Committees and Sub-Committees was also approved by the Congress. The term for the newly appointed committees is through the 53rd International Ski Congress in June 2022.
