We extended the deadline so all contestants could get a first look at everyone’s form at the kick-off event in Ruka, Finland before finalizing their team. As well you’ll find the rankings for all skiers at the end of last season on the team registration page.
Register your team of four (4) men, and four (4) women including two (2) Outlaw Skiers – one (1) male and one (1) female not in the top 15 of the FIS World Cup overall rankings.
Points will be awarded following each World Cup based on each skier’s performance and published regularly at skitrax.com so you can see how your score compares to other international players and the actual FIS standings.
Earn TdS or Pyeonchang 2018 points, and other bonus points – all information, skier menus and contest rules are available at registration.
The deadline to register or revise your team is Thursday, Nov. 30, at 10pm EST, the day before round two of the XC FIS World Cup in Lillehammer, Norway.
