Join us this Sunday for our first Rail Jam of the season: USASA Rail Jam 1 by Hydro Flask & BlackStrap at Mt Bachelor! This is a great one to compete in and watch since no lift ticket is required (course is located just outside the main West Village Lodge)! All ages and stages of riding abilities are welcome, 9 & under and adaptive FREE! Course is built so beginners, intermediate and advanced riders will be able to shred! Prizes for EVERY competitor; awards for 1st – 3rd. Save $$$ on event fees by registering online by the Friday before that weekend’s comps…see below for details! Did we mention kids 7 & under get FREE USASA Membership (and it’s only $50 Memberships for 8-9 yr olds)?!?

Also be sure to INCLUDE YOUR CELL # (vs. relying only on the emails it’ll send for important day-of correspondence). INSTRUCTIONS: Download the Team App, search for the “Central Oregon USASA” Team, choose “COUSASA Riders & Parents” and put a note why you’re requesting access since we don’t give public access to our membership (i.e. parent of athlete, or athlete, etc.): https://CentralOregonUSASA.TeamApp.com
