SKIER BIOS
All skiers will be asked to complete a short skier bio at registration for our event announcer.
Please take a few minutes to fill it out so our announcer has some information about you to share during the competition. If skiers registered today (Wednesday), please come to registration to complete your skier bio.
PICK & CHOOSE SECOND ROUND
Skiers will have the opportunity to compete in an additional Pick & Choose round.
Each skier may select one discipline (Slalom, Trick or Jump) for a second round.
The first round will determine Nationals placements. The Pick & Choose round is an additional opportunity to compete and will not affect Nationals placements.

Skiers who qualify for the Open Finals will have the choice of competing in either the Pick & Choose round or the Open Finals. Skiers may only compete in one.
Open Finals will have a field of six skiers. If fewer than six skiers qualify, the remaining spots will be filled where possible.
