The 2009 Alpine Masters National Championships, sponsored in part by Skier's Edge, were held March 23-28 at Sunday River, ME. The 2009 nationals are a four-event championships with the DH championships colocated with the 3-event SG/GS/SL nationals.
You must have a current USSA Masters competition license to compete in regional and national championship events (no temporary weekend licenses). Division entries were due Feb. 10 and have been submitted to USSA and the race organizers. Entries are now closed. Sunday River has great race hills and an experienced race crew, so this should be an outstanding event.

Note: in order to manage the large field of competitors and provide good conditions for all at this championship event, competitors are split into several groups by age and gender. The groupings are A (men 21-44, classes 1-4), B (men 45-59, classes 5-7), C (all women), and D (men 60+, classes 8-14). The SG and the GS events were run on two courses to separate the younger A/B classes from the C/D groups of older men and all ladies while in the SL each group competed on their own course.
