The Jeep Junior Freeski Series is a part of Resort of the Canadian Rockies (RCR) ongoing commitment to providing active and healthy pursuits for youth. To align with the IFSA qualification standards, the event is open to skier’s ages 7 to 18 featuring 6 categories: 7-11 /12-14/15-18 male and female. All age cut off dates are based on the age turned prior to December 31, 2019. Competitors will display their skiing skills on natural terrain while being judged on 5 categories – Line Choice, Control, Fluidity, Technique, and Style/Energy.
Registration will open on Tuesday, December 17th at 8 pm (MST)
REGISTRATION UPDATE: EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT – WAITLIST HAS BEEN STARTED
To get on the waitlist – please click on the registration link below. Choose the appropriate category and select the waitlist option (and the number of spots you require), click “Proceed to Registration” and fill out all the information for the athlete. The site will ask for payment details and your credit card will be authorized for the registration amount, however, the credit card will not be charged unless the athlete is moved off the waitlist onto the participant list. If a spot opens up, you will be contacted by our Events Team to confirm you are interested in taking the available spot and then, at that time, the registration will be processed and charged to your credit card.
NOTE: To make registration a fair process – any open spot(s) will be offered to the first name on the waitlist (and will be offered down the waitlist in the order that the waitlist registration was received). We cannot substitute any athletes for open spots…ie. athlete cancels and wants to “give” their spot to a specified athlete. This is not allowed, instead, the cancelled spot will be offered to the first name on the waitlist.
