2010 Schedule of Events

2010 Mid-Atlantic Snowboard & Freeski Series

Registration has officially opened online for all events. Click on the respective event to register and SAVE $5 for each event. Pre-Registration each week closes the Wednesday before the proposed event weekend.

This season all of our Halfpipe and Slopestyle events will also be 1 Star TTR Sanctioned events. The TTR is a world ranking sanctioned organization that sanctiones events like the Burton Global Open Series, Roxy Chicken Jam, US Snowboard Grand Prix and others. In addition to those mentioned, The USASA Nationals is also TTR Sanctioned for the Open Class. By having 1 Star TTR Sanctioned events at the regional level, this will allow all athletes to begin their quest for bigger events in the future and create a foundation to gain entry to point specific events. For more information on TTR please log onto www.TTRworldtour.com .

The Mid-Atlantic Snowboard Series is now the Mid-Atlantic Snowboard & Freeski Series
