Progress means always putting the USASA athletes first and providing the most ethical, fair and fun competition environment. For the 2020-2021 season we have adjusted to a more age-appropriate class for the 6 & under group. The newly formed "Rascals" age group will experience an enhanced regional event structure that will have more of a focus on fun and inclusion.
These events for ages 6 & under will take place within the existing USASA regional competitions structure and will only be available for regional points and ranking. Rascals competitors will not be eligible to travel to and compete at USASA National Championships. This adjustment is to bring our competition offering more in line with the U.S. Training Systems model and allow our youngest members more time to have fun regionally. Once athletes become Ruggies they will then be eligible to compete in the USASA National Championships.

USASA’s Director of Administration, Zippy Neil, has been awarded the 2020 Anna McIntyre Award for her distinguished achievement in snowboarding administration. Anna McIntyre, a Waterville Valley native, has been an instrumental part of bringing snowboarding to a new international level with her strong common sense and leadership skills. In 2020, the US Ski & Snowboard committee felt Zippy Neil most deserved this award for her tireless efforts in support of snowboarding for twenty-two years and counting.

Ty Casey grew up in Milford, PA competing in the USASA Mid-Atlantic series with hopes of someday working in a field he was passionate about, snowboarding business. So when the time came to seek out a college that would combine both his love for snowboarding with an education that would land him ready for the work world, Ty found Sierra Nevada University in a roundabout sort of way.

The USASA National Championships serves as a key revenue source that has driven the Mission and Vision of the USASA for over 30 years. This annual event drives over 2.5 million in economic impact to the communities in Summit County and internally serves as one of the key support structures for our nonprofit. With the loss of this year's event due to the COVID-19 the longevity of the USASA is in potential jeopardy. Your contribution will help secure the future of the USASA during this difficult time due to the cancelation of the 2020 USASA National Championships.
