Join us for our last Central Oregon USASA event and last Slopestyle (3) at Woodward Bachelor on Sunday, February 27!!! (And be sure to register for our only Halfpipe 1 & 2 comps that are on Sat before it’s too late). Features are from beginner to advance to encourage riders of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to participate. We will have Regional (Series) Champions, so your points matter, and you must do two events in most of our disciplines to qualify for that discipline…and up to 3 results will be used for USASA National’s qualifications. ✔️

> REGISTRATION is now open for all of our comps, AND closes Thursday at 5 pm before that weekend’s events. Like last season, registration is ONLINE ONLY, and we’re not able to do day-of registrations or changes.

📲 REGISTER for EVENTS HERE: https://bit.ly/USASARegistration21-22

> TAKE NOTE: No one is allowed on course unless they registered online for our USASA event(s), and are a current USASA member (and new this year is that all adults must also be US Ski & Snowboard Members, including volunteers, coaches and officials). Everyone must also be approved by the Series Directors first (any media).

> AWARDS for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place for each age group. We’ll update you on our mandatory Zoom Rider’s Meeting about the process. Awards are typically near the food carts by Red Chair, but we’ll clarify day-of via Team App.

Also, please make sure you only have 1 membership in the USASA system or it will mess up your points and the system. Also make sure your series says: “Central Oregon USASA” if Mt. Bachelor / Bend, OR area is considered your “home” and you consider COUSASA your “home series.”

> RIDER’S MEETINGS: These are MANDATORY for ALL competitors, and online again this year, usually at 7 pm on Thursday’s before that weekend’s events. Parents encouraged to attend with their riders. We will have drawings for those in attendance. We’ll send out the Zoom link to your membership email after registration closes (again, make sure your USASA membership email is correct and you don’t miss this so you can compete).

Take Note: This will be your bib for the rest of the season…so don’t forget it. If you got a bib from another series, please let us know what #, since that’s your permanent bib.
