Places at the event are restricted by the event organiser.  The British Olympic Association, who make final selection and manage the team at the event, will be announcing the final selection early in the new year. The final selection will therefore depend on how the athletes perform between now and the final date for inclusion of results in the selection process.  The selection policies for the events can be found in the BSS Cross Country Selection Criteria 2010-2011, BSS EYOWF 2011 Alpine Selection Policy Announcement - October 2010 and BSS EYOWF 2011 Snowboarding Selection Policy Announcement - October 2010

We wish all those on the long lists congratulations and good luck between now and January.
