Official in good standing
The alpine ski season begins July 1, and ends on June 30. To be an Official in good standing for the season:
- Register for annual AOA membership as an Official with SnowReg (note: currently under construction for the 2024-2025 season). If you are a coach, your annual registration with ACA-CSC to be a Coach in good standing is equivalent – you do not also have to register with AOA as an Official.
- Attend an Officials Update every season to be up to date on the most current rules and operations. Annual Updates will be offered online once a month from early November to early January. See the Event Calendar for dates.
