Q: My airline doesn’t have a team yet – or: I don’t know if they do, but I don’t know who to contact. Can you help me?
A: Registering a new team for the World Airlines Ski Championships is incredibly simple: Just send us an email via the Contact Form and depending on your location (Americas/Europe/World), our respective Area Directors will get back to you with further information. And yes, we can find out if your airline has ever had a team at our events.
Q: Does it cost me anything to register my airline under the IASF?
A: No, signing up a new team does not involve any administration fees. There is however a registration (and race) fee that needs to be paid once you would like to participate at our events.
Q: When is the registration gonna open for the WASC 2027?
A: Information about registration, lodging, schedule, etc. for the WASC 2027 in Big White, Canada will be published around end of October 2026.
Q: How do I register for my WASC participation?
A: Individual as well as group registrations are possible. Just make sure your team decides for one of the options to prevent double registrations. In case of team registration, provide your team captain with your details (such as racer/guest, which competitions you want to be registered for, date of birth, etc.) and you will be taken care of.
Q: How am I eligible to participate in the race competitions?
A: You need to hold a valid airline ID for the company you wish to represent. Furthermore, you need to have been employed for at least six months prior to the registration deadline. For necessary equipment, etc. refer to the official WASC Rulebook 2024.
Q: When and how do I pay the registration fee?
A: Usually, you register either individually or as a group. This usually depends on the hosting resort. More information coming soon after the IASF Fall Meeting.
Q: How do I do the hotel booking?
A: A selection of hotels, lodges and/or apartments is usually provided by the hosting resort. Usually, it is not accepted if you book something on your own without being registered for the event, i.e. registration and accommodation booking are normally linked and depending on one another. Your team will choose between the given options and once decided, the individual teams are accommodated in the same hotel/apartment/etc. More information coming shortly after the IASF Fall Meeting.
Q: How do I get a ski pass?
A: More information coming shortly after the IASF Fall Meeting.
Q: I want to bring my partner with me to the championships. Can he/she also join the social events?
A: Being a guest, your partner does not have to hold an airline ID, however she/he needs to acquire the WASC credentials by paying the registration fee. The social events are non-public and ID checks are doine at the entrance.
Q: I do not take part in the races but would still like to join my team. Do I still have to pay the full registration fee?
A: Yes. The registration fee covers all sorts of costs, e.g. the race committee which is in charge of the race tracks/courses, time keeping, etc., expenses for social functions (welcome ceremony, theme night, gala dinner, hospitality event). Those costs are shared equally amongst everyone attending.
Q: I don’t have my own equipment. Can I rent stuff at the resort?
A: You will be able to rent your high quality WASC equipment at the ski rental shops. Detailed information about ski rental will be available soon.
