REFERENCES: If you don't personally know your record captain, you will need to provide contact references that can verify your skiing ability. We want to make sure that everyone that registers has a lot of ski experience and is truly up to the challenge that comes from these type of record attempts. Show directors and skiers well known on the national scene are good examples of references.
No money is being collected at this time. Once references have been checked and rosters finalized, your record captain will contact you to take care of fee payments. We will also take into account COVID status in the Country before collecting fees. All fees must be paid by September 1, 2021. Failure to make fee payments by September 1 will result in the loss of your roster spot in the attempt.
