Keenan Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Joining the USASA would be a good start. https://www.usasa.org/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dw3 Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Same boat here in Portland. I've been in the hard boots since this summer. I am from Tulsa OK and a member of their ski club. We have club races every year, this year is Steamboat (fun trip) and I also plan to race on another club trip to Big sky. Those should qualify for Nastar Nationals which I went to last year. Other than these, I am just kind of waiting for races in the area.

TVR Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 join USASA as stated above. Here is what you get, and the costs: Mambership is $100 Each race is about $40, and comes with a ticket for the mountain (Here in NH, ME and VT anyway) You get a national ranking and can race in age group Nationals, if you go, is a week where several hundred hard booters race, mingle and just have an incredible time carving up the Copper Mountain. In addition, Donek is there so you get to drive his latest wares, including plates. It is genuinely an incredible place to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainSlope Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Why would anyone laugh? I think it's awesome. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darko714 Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) I started racing at 50 with NASTAR. The beauty of it is that if your local area has it, you can sign up and pretty much practice on a set GS course all day, and get immediate feedback on your times. The downside is that they use ski gates, which you will want to stay away from. USASA has snowboard gates, and they have races on or near my local hill every year, but to my knowledge they don't provide any meaningful way for you to practice. You get to inspect the course on race day and get your two shots at it, and that's it. By the way, there are some seriously good riders in your age group who you'll enjoy meeting.

Keenan Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I just realized that you are from Washington, check out the City League races: https://www.cityleague.com/. They race at night at Snoqualmie Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuisanceIV Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 @Keenan Know of anything running out of Stevens? I've been wanting to do this too, but White Pass is so far. And nice that you're racing, get a good helmet haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVR Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Also, I will be aging up to your class next year, so if you join USASA and race, you can teach me a few things about carving, and I can give you the scoop where the best beer is served in Copper for Nationals....

Sasquatch_Surfer Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 I will second both USASA and City League in Washington. The USASA series usually has at least one alpine event (usually a dual event, so counts for more than one race). City League is just fun time running gates. I know there is a mostly snowboard team on Tuesday night at Alpental that could use some riders. The City League folks can put you in touch with them for sure.
