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.

2020 USASA National Championships was canceled but that doesn't mean we can't keep the spirit and fun of Nationals going while we're all social distancing. Which is why we're hosting the USASA 2020 Showcase -- a video contest that will be held during the two-week window we were all planning on throwing down at National Championships.
We're asking you, our USASA community to keep the stoke alive by sharing your season's best moments in a 60-second video edit. We wanna see the fun you had this season and the tricks and style you were bringing to Nationals. Have some fun and get creative and hashtag it #USASAshowcase2020 to be entered to win! *** Tag USASA, your local series, and your shred friends for bonus points.

Dear USASA Community,
We have been closely following the situation regarding COVID-19, as I am sure many of you have as well. With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines discouraging travel and large public gatherings, and based on input from many in our snowboard and freeski community, I am writing to inform you that we have made the very difficult decision to cancel the 2020 USASA National Championships.
After careful consideration and deliberation, we believe the impact COVID-19 will have on this year’s participation and athlete representation would adversely affect the integrity of the event. Further, holding the event at this time could create unnecessary risk for USASA athletes, parents, coaches and staff.

As a committed cross coach in the winter and Highland Mountain Bike Park Camp program manager in the summer, Jeff Juneau is in the mix of all things mountains and coaching. With over 20 years of coaching experience, Juneau also finds time to support the next generation of athletes and coaches as USASA’s Coaches’ Representative to the board, working to ensure the next generation of coaches have the systems in place to succeed and grow in the competitive pipeline. So in between hustling from one passion project to another and handling winter and summer coaching opportunities, we managed to track Jeff Juneau down for a closer look at a key member of our USASA community.
