TTR Our Halfpipe and Slopestyle events are also 1 Star TTR Sanctioned events. The TTR is a ranking organization that sanctions events like the Burton Global Open Series, US Snowboard Grand Prix and others. USASA Nationals is also TTR Sanctioned for the Open Class. 1 Star TTR Sanctioned events allow athletes to strive for bigger events in the future and are a way to gain entry to point specific events. For more information on TTR please log onto www.TTRworldtour.com.
