Lausanne, 26 February 2026 – Jointly with the Local Organising Committee, the ISMF is pleased to confirm the race event to be held in Yabuli Ski Resort, China, from 16 to 20 March 2026.

Registration:
The registration process for the ISMF Asian Championships is open
from today until Saturday 7 March 2026 at h. 23:59 CET.
After that date, registrations will be no longer possible through the standard procedure.
You can register your athletes through the
ISMF intranet by clicking on the
“Registration” button in the top menu bar.
Before registering in any ISMF World Cup or Championships, athletes must have their own valid ISMF licence.
Licence:
According to the ISMF Rules & Guidelines, only athletes holding a valid ISMF Competition Licence (Licence C) for the current ISMF season can be listed in the official ISMF Asian Championships results and therefore gaining points for the World Ranking. Of course, athletes holding ISMF Elite or Youth Licences (Licences A or B) are also eligible, as these licences are of a higher grade than Licence C. Athletes without a valid ISMF licence may only be classified for the Open race, but not for the ISMF Asian Championships.
For your information, athletes may apply for the ISMF Licence C in one of two ways:
- Through their National Member via the ISMF intranet (using the usual login details) – licence fees will be invoiced to the ISMF NM at the end of the current competitive season;
- Directly via this link: ISMF Licence Application. In this case, the National Member will receive the document for final signature, and the athlete will pay for the licence directly during the application process.
The list of athletes holding a valid ISMF licence for the 2025/26 season is continuously updated and is available here:
ISMF Athlete.
