December 24, 2008 (Toronto, ON) – Things are ready for contestants to finalize their teams for the SkiTrax Fantasy FIS TdS 2008.09 Contest. We apologize again for the delay but the process whereby countries are able make changes to their TdS entries on the FIS site was more challenging to integrate into our contest module than we envisioned.

Please note that there have been a number of revisions to the registered TdS skiers’ list. The “Outlaw Skier” menu is also available and we’ve cross-referenced all TdS skiers against the current FIS Rankings after Dusseldorf, and provided women and men separately in the pull down menu, to allow easier selection. Keep in mind that country changes may include Outlaw Skiers, so please check back to ensure all of your selections are valid.

The final deadline for your TdS team registration is 6pm EST, Dec. 26. Click here for all contest rules, info, and to register or change your team.
