Welcome Back Skiers and Happy New Year!

The 2026 Ski season is just around the corner and registration is now live! You can register
using the link here: https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/498176 or on the website at
https://lslski.com/registration/. It is very important you register as soon as possible so you are
receiving updated club communication regarding the 2026 season and upcoming events.

Our club has 3 disciplines (click on the links to learn more):
1. Home Show: Show Me Skiers
2. 3-Event
3. Arch Rivals Competitive Show Skiing

Registering for the 2026 season is easy. There is a $250 club membership fee per family. In addition to the club membership fee, each skier will be charged a flat $85 skier fee. There will also be fundraising and volunteer requirements which are the same as last season.

There are a few updates and reminders about our registration!

1. We will continue to use the TeamSnap app for registration and club member
communication, similar to previous seasons.

2. During registration there will be two payment options.

a. Pay in full at time of registration.

b. Installment payment option. This requires a $25 dollar deposit per member
(TeamSnap adds an additional processing fee). The remainder of your total due
will be divided into 2 remaining payments which will automatically be charged to
your credit card on file through TeamSnap on April 1st and May 1st.

3. Registration will be open January 1st through June 10th. Any sign ups after June 10th
will incur a $100 late fee.

4. We will continue with the Silver Skier Membership. This membership includes a family
club membership and 1 skier over the age of 50 to ski in either Mens Line or Ladies Line
for $250. This membership also requires 2 fundraising credits or 1 volunteer event.

5. Fundraising Requirement: Each Family will be required to complete 2 fundraising credits (2 credits equals $200 in profit for the club). A list of fundraising credit opportunities is visible on the registration form. There is an option to buy out of the fundraising requirement for $250 per family. New CA families are exempt from the fundraising requirements their first year. Silver Skiers must pick either 2 fundraising credits or 1 volunteer event.

6. Volunteer Requirement: Each family will be required to complete 2 volunteer events and
1 volunteer event per child as applicable. (1 volunteer event will be for the ski club and 1
will be community based). A list of volunteer opportunities is visible on the registration
form. All volunteer requirements will be coordinated through our Volunteer Director, Erin Bextermiller. New CA families are exempt from the volunteer requirements their first year. Silver Skiers must pick either 2 fundraising credits or 1 volunteer event.

7. Each family will turn in a post dated check, dated 12/01/2026 for $350 made out to the
Lake Saint Louis Water Ski Club. If they do not meet the fundraising requirements or
volunteer requirements the check will be deposited in December of 2026. First year CA
families and Silver Skiers do not need to send in a check. If a family has met their
volunteer and fundraising requirements at the time of registration they will not need to
give a deposit check. If you already paid the fundraising opt out fee, then the family will
only need to turn in a $100 deposit check for their volunteer deposit. The check must be
turned in prior to participation in water practices for the 2026 season.

All financial and volunteer obligations from the 2025 season must be completed prior to
participating in practice activities for the 2026 season.

We look forward to seeing everyone out on the water this 2026 season!
