Skiers planning on attending the JO’s must confirm their acceptance and turn in their forms upon completion of the awards. Skiers making the 2012 JO Team and who will not be in Fairbanks may contact Joey Caterinichio This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 229-6427 by February 3, 2012 and let me know if you are coming so that your spot is not given to an alternate. Pre-quals please let me know as soon as you can.

Payments and Deadlines:

Payments for athletes attending the JO’s must be received in full by February 13, 2012. You may mail payment in the form of a check…see forms for more info. Or pay by credit card through the CCAK website.

Changing Flights: There are NO outbound changes to group tickets. ONLY returns. If you are planning on changing your trip for spring break, you may utilize your ticket but will incur a change fee. You may also use an alternative ticket. Your delta ticket will be in your name and you would have a credit to use for one year. You would be responsible for Delta rules, any change fees etc.
