What is a World Cup Race?
A World Cup race is not the same as a World Championship Race. A World Cup race is held at the national level within the US. The US receives the ability to IFSS accredit 10 snow and 10 dryland races in the USA each season. Competitors with a USFSS Membership and a DID Number, receive points from World Cup races. These points help the competitors qualify for World Championships. USFSS also looks at existing World Cup races as potential venues for World Championships for when it is the US’s turn to be the host country.
