IMPORTANT CHANGES IN RELAY AGE GROUPS: In light of the large number of women entries, the organizers have added an age group to the women's relays. Based on the disproportionate number of experienced (older) skiers of both sexes, the two youngest male age groups will be combined. The coed categories remain unchanged.
