Don’t have a team? Fill out this form and we’ll try to find you one! Register by January 5 for full season points.
Show & Tell
Once races begin, we want your stories and photos! Email [email protected] or post with #tourdefinn on the socials, and share the heroic tales, the tragic misses, the kick wax that went wrong (or right!), the dog that appeared out of nowhere! All anecdotes are welcome and encouraged.
At the Races
Finn Sisu staff and brand partners will be at most races offering wax and tech support as well, so come say hi before the race!
End of Season Celebration
Mark your calendars for March 14, 6-8 pm for an end-of-season celebration at the Trailhead in Minneapolis. Thank you to our sponsors - Atomic, Rex, KV+, and Enjoy Winter for supplying some fantastic awards and door prizes.
See you there!
Let’s support our local races, try some new ones. Let’s help make the ski racing scene a fun and inclusive space to see old friends, make some new ones, and ski to our heart’s content. See you on the trails!
