The quota is summarized in the Team Naming Ceremony section:

 

 

 

 

Team Naming Ceremony

At the Team Naming Ceremony after the final Besh Cup race, athletes may choose a position on the Arctic Winter Games team, the Junior Nationals team, or neither team. When one team is filled, the remaining eligible skiers may accept or decline a position on the openings of the remaining team. In the interest of time and consideration of other athletes’ preparation, your decision is to be given at the Team Naming Ceremony. If you are a contender for one of the teams and are unable to attend the Team Naming Ceremony, you must notify the CCAK Administrator by February 1, 2026 what your team choice would be if offered the opportunity.
