Besh Cup | Cross Country Alaska

USSS & SafeSport

ConocoPhillips Besh Cup races are sanctioned by USS&S and all racers are required to have a USSS license (either General or Competitive).

Skiers whose birth years are 2008 and earlier must complete SafeSport, Avalanche Awareness, and register for a Background Check prior to competing in any US Ski & Snowboard events (this includes all Besh Cup races, US Nationals and US Junior Nationals). USS&S does not allow for exceptions for skiers without valid licenses at time of competition. Meeting these requirements may take two to four weeks, so do not put this off until the week of registering for Besh Cup races.
