Intents
Welcome to the 2024-25 Intents Section
This section allows Athlete Representatives to intend U.S. Ski & Snowboard alpine athletes for NorAm, FISU, Nationals, Regional USA FIS races, Canadian FIS Races, and non-Europa Cup International FIS races.
SafeSport policies require only registered U.S. Ski & Snowboard coaches who have passed a criminal background screening and are current in SafeSport education are eligible to manage U.S. athletes. To register as a U.S. Ski & Snowboard coach, please visit our membership page. Additionally, please complete the Coaches Registration Form with your updated contact information for season 2024-25, in case we need to contact you.

3. Confirmations are due 16 days prior to the TC meeting via the confirmation board.
When entering a foreign athlete in a U.S. FIS race, please check the link below to see if your athlete has a letter of authorization on file from their NGB. If your athlete's travel authorization is not on file, please have the athlete's federation send a copy to Chip Knight chip.knight@usskiandsnowboard.org and a copy to your regional manager. Foreign athletes must be entered directly with the race organizers, and not on this intent site.
