Cost:  This is an estimated cost due prior to race departure and is based on 8 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.  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.  

Expense	Per athlete estimate

All athletes are required to have all required paperwork into the divisional office by 1/2/12.  The registration form is here.  Please note that USSA, Western Region and Northern Division policy requires pre-payment of trip fees.  Honest.  No Exceptions.  There is a resort release form that needs to be signed as well.  DO NOT MAIL THE RELEASE FORM TO SHERRI, GIVE IT TO YOUR COACH!

Coaches:  Email Sherri Hale, Northern Division Manager, at nodivmanager@northernussa.org or call her at (406) 871-7429 (Cell) with any questions and travel plans.

College athletes are on their own for lodging and payment of all fees to the organizer and the ski resort.  Northern Division coaches will represent them in the team meetings, however.
