Competition

This year is a break-through year for competition riding, because we have a dedicated 26 member-slot team. As a member of the team, I strongly encourage you all to join. You will meet some awesome people, competitions are incredibly fun (even if you are not a strong skier or snowboarder), and you’ll have the opportunity to improve incredibly quickly.

The league we compete in is USASA which is the nation’s largest league for amateur snowboarding competition. The league due is $75 for the year. This membership is only needed to participate one of the two competition series at Mt. Bachelor; the "Enter The Dragon" series. To participate in these you need to register at www.usasa.org and you’ll have to pay for that yourself via credit card online. After you are registered, they will email you the necessary member certification within 24 hours.

For the 08/09 season, we will be competing at Mt. Bachelor in 6 competitions between the two series at Mt. Bachelor; Enter the Dragon series (ETD), and the Oregon Cup (OC) series. The Oregon Cup series does not require a USASA membership and is much less expensive.

For more information on specific competition costs, schedules, and the series' break down, check out the Schedule.

Our couch this year is Colby Richards. He currently works and rides with Burton and is going to be great help to the team on many of our trips. He will be there to help you guys out if you have any questions or particular things you want to work on.
