Skate St. Moritz will be happening September 11 – 13, 2026 at the Oakland Ice Center.

Skate St. Moritz is part of the National Qualifying Series (NQS) for singles this year.  NQS now includes event levels from Preliminary to Senior (aka Championship Preliminary FS through Championship Senior FS).

We will also be offering Excel free skate, Adult free skate, Aspire, Basic levels, showcase and jump & spin challenges. Please see the announcement for details.  As of 8/3/2026, our competition has reached its entry capacity and closed registration. Currently, skaters may only sign up for a waiting list for their event. After evaluating the schedule further, if we find we have additional time available or if there is a withdrawal in an event, we will add people from the waiting list.

To access the waiting list sign up, please use the registration link via EMS (through Members only) here:
https://m.usfigureskating.org/competition/36682

Please note that only events with at least one registered skater at the time we reached capacity will be available for the waiting list option. If you do not see an event then it is likely that the event is not available for any registration or waiting list options. But, please feel free to contact us if you need clarification on the status of an event.

As always, volunteers will be needed in order to be able to run a successful competition. Please save the date and check back for Sign Up opportunities.

Renew your St Moritz ISC Membership

stmoritz

Renew for 2026- 2027

On June 1, US Figure Skating opens registration for the new season that will start on July 1, 2026.  US Figure Skating will send confirmation of your renewal after June 1.

If you plan on competing or testing on or after July 1, please complete your registration.  EMS registrations for the Non-Qualifying Series are open, but the registrations are not complete until you have renewed your US Figure Skating membership through your club.

For the 26-27 season, US Figure Skating has increased the amount that the clubs pay per member.  At least 65% of each club membership fee goes to US Figure Skating, so we have increased our membership fees to cover the new costs.  For some levels, such as the Parent Membership, the US Figure Skating cost is equal to our fee.

We hope that you have a good 26-27 season on and off the ice.
