The calendar for the 2015-2016 Para-snowboard season was revealed in August with events set to be held in North America and Asia for the first time.

It is made up of World Cup events and Europa, North America and Asia Cups, while the decision has also been taken to introduce the discipline of giant slalom. 

"Snowboard has consistently proved itself as one of the most thrilling and compelling in the world of Para-sport, and has made great strides forward in recent years," said Craig Spence, IPC director of media and communications.

"This season will continue that excitement, with eight World Cups highlighting the competition calendar and a series of Europa, North America and Asia Cups creating a competition schedule with a wide global reach.

"We therefore felt it was time to give the sport an independent public identity, in recognition of its unique and growing fan base, although it will still be governed by the IPC Alpine Skiing and Snowboard Sport Technical Committee.

"We are confident that there is lots of action to follow once again throughout 2015-16, and we can continue to build interest in the sport over the coming months and years."

At this year’s IPC Snowboard World Championships in La Molina, Spain, a title in banked slalom was introduced and the format of snowboard-cross was adjusted to create head-to-head racing.

Those developments followed on from a split in lower-limb impairment classifications that was rolled out during the season, after the first Paralympic titles were awarded at Sochi 2014. 

Most recently, the IPC Governing Board signed off the provisional expansion of the medal events for snowboard at Pyeongchang 2018 Pato a maximum of 10 from the two seen at Sochi 2014.

The first races of this season's campaign are due to take place with a Europa Cup on November 18 in Landgraaf, The Netherlands, closely followed by two World Cups at the same venue on November 19 and 20, all in banked slalom.

In February, the circuit moves to North America with snowboard-cross races at Aspen Snowmass in the United States, and remains in the region for cross and banked slalom at Big White, Canada.

March features four World Cups with events in La Molina and Les Angles, France, as well as two in Trentino, Italy, including the World Cup Finals.

Other action includes Europa Cups in La Molina and Les Angles, and North American (NORAM) Cups in Aspen and Big White.

Giant slalom is also set to make its debut this season at the Yongpyong Alpine Centre, the venue for Pyeongchang 2018, during the Asia Cup in March.
