We have switched to a new platform, Team Snap, this year to handle our program registrations, rosters, messaging and calendars. If you encounter any issues during registration, or with Team Snap in general, please let us know!
IMPORTANT! Registering multiple participants
During registration, after you enter the first participant, Team Snap will ask you if you want to “Add Another Participant”. Do not do this unless you intend to use the same link on this page to register them.
For example, if you are registering one child in BKL 3-4 and another in BKL 5-8, you cannot use the “Add Another Participant” feature because they are separate registration forms. You must complete registration for the first child, then come back to this page to register the second.
If you are registering one child in Junior Alpine DEVO and another in Junior Alpine U12, you MAY use “Add Another Participant” because those programs use the same link on this page.
Sorry this is a bit confusing. We are still working out the kinks with Team Snap.
ALPINE PROGRAMS
This year race work signups will not be done during registration. We will do that separately after registration.

NORDIC PROGRAMS
Bill Koch League
Important: When registering multiple children in different BKL age categories (K-2, 3-4, & 5-8), you should disregard the prompts to “Add another participant” after registering your first child. Instead, complete registration for the first child, then utilize the age-specific registration link provided on this page for the next child. For example, you can register a child in 5th grade Devo and 8th grade Adventure using the same link, but you can’t register your 2nd grader and your 5th grader from the same link. You must utilize the age specific registration link provided on this page.
