Important Information

Check your Helmets

The use of an APPROVED FOR SNOWSPORTS USE ASTM 2040 / CE 1077B/CPSC will be required before you are allowed to participate in the contest. 

No "dude" or "dude whats up with that"...........get the right lid on your head, I don't want to have to be telling you "10 cent helmet - 10 cent head".  I highly recommend you get a new APPROVED FOR SNOWSPORTS USE helmet .

Shown below are a few of the companies that make approved helmets.  They'll have a sticker inside stating "APPROVED FOR SNOWSPORTS USE & the ASTM 2040 / CE 1077B/CPSC tags.  Some manufacturers make both types, Bern for example makes the BAKER in a Hard Hat which is NOT APPROVED and also an EPS Foam Model that Seth Wescott wears which is APPROVED. 

Talk to the guy or gal in the shop, be sure they show you the sticker that says its approved before you lay down your cash,  cause if you show up wearing a helmet thats not approved, you're gonna be a DNS!

If you've got any questions, please write me at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  but this is a pretty simple requirement, for your own protection, its not an option! I'd hate to have your folks and yourself show up to the Nationals and you get a DNS because you don't have the correct helmet. That would be such a bummer !

• Registration begins at 7:00 am and continues to approx. 9:30 am the morning of the event.
• Pre-registrations are not accepted at our venues..
• Lift tickets are at a discounted price of $25.00 (If you already have a pass, then you won't need a lift ticket)
• Only cash or personal checks drawn on local banks are accepted as the form of payment for the events. (There is an ATM in the lodge for your convenience) returned checks will result in temporary blocking your membership status until full restitution of the NSF is received.

How do I Qualify for the Nationals?

To qualify for the USASA 2011 National Championships, TO BE HELD AT COPPER MTN, COLORADO, you must fulfill one of the criteria listed below:

• Be pre-qualified from last year (Won 1st place at the last Nationals) and compete in at least half of this seasons events.
• Win the top overall points in your age division per discipline.
• You may qualify for the USASA Nationals in single disciplines, for example; HalfPipe, SlopeStyle, Giant Slalom, Slalom, or BoarderCross®.
• On occassion the first place points leader may not want to participate at the National Championships, therefore the 2nd place points leader is offered the seat.
• The National Ranking system will then determine the next rider in-line for an open slot in an age group and venue.
• It is advisable that you may need to travel to another series outside to gain an additional amount of points to raise your positioning on the National Ranking System. Only one (1) outside event is counted with your two (2) regional points to determine your National Ranking Points.

Why do we have two events with the same date?

This question has been asked quite a few times, the answer is quite simple. Being residents of Southern California we have been blessed with having a limited number  of days on the snow each season and being required to have a minimum number of events for athletes to be eligible for the National Ranking System, we must double up events on certain days to meet the criteria.  Therefore, on certain competition days we hold two separate events.
