Cost:  This is an estimated cost due prior to race departure and is based on 9 athlete/2 coach participation.  This will change depending on actual athlete attendance and real costs, which will be reconciled once all receipts are turned in and expenses are accounted for.  Adjustments will then be made accordingly.  Please note that Coaches’ expense includes per diem (food) and their portion of lodging.  Coaches’ transportation covers the cost of getting coaches to the race and back, meaning this cost is not optional.  All athletes pay for this regardless of how they get to the race series.  Whether or not the coach will have room in the vehicle for athletes must be handled through the coach.  Bridger is using their van.  Should you be a non-BSF athlete, transportation in the van requires you to become a member of BSF.  Membership is $25 and requires you to register.  A link for that is here.  You must also sign a release to ride in the Bridger van (give to Robbie).  Divisional manager must be notified upon receipt of this notice should an athlete not be staying with the team.  Administrative expenses are necessary to cover office expenses (paper, postage, Internet, fax, telephone, etc.) throughout the season and wax costs cover divisional wax orders and inventories.  Entries, Lifts and Lodging are self-explanatory.

All athletes are required to have all required payment and paperwork into the divisional office by 12/15/11.  The registration form is here.  All racers must sign a Mission Ridge release as well.  Give that to either Peter or Robbie.  NOTE: Athletes will NOT race without one and coaches cannot sign them!

Please note that USSA, Western Region and Northern Division policy requires pre-payment of trip fees.  Honest.  No Exceptions.
