The 2012 USSA Alpine Masters National Speed Series, sponsored by Molecule F, consists a series of thirteen twelve SG and DH speed events, with races held around the country in six divisions (Far West, Intermountain, Rocky, PNSA, Northern, and Eastern). The series concludes with the finals at the National Championships in Park City UT in March. The 2012 National Speed series kicks off in January with a SG race as part of Intermountain's Loritz Cup weekend at Park City UT. With speed series events located in Far West, PNSA, Northern, Intermountain, Rocky, and Eastern divisions, competitors have the opportunity to participate in their region as well as to follow the full tour as it visits venues across the country leading up to the national championships finale at Park City. |

Schedule Updates
The Mammoth SG's scheduled for Jan. 20-21 have been cancelled to due lack of snow.
(Far West has rescheduled the weekend with 3 GS races at Mammoth, which can be held on the more
limited terrain currently available)
The NSS series will add 2nd SG at Killington on Feb. 10 to the series - Killington
will be putting on two SG's on the opening day of the Eastern Regionals weekend, so both will be counted
for the Speed Series.
