The nationals are a four-event championships with an alpine-combined along with the 3-event SG/GS/SL races for the combined age class champions scoring.
** 2021 National Championships cancelled **
The National Committee is sad to report that there will be no 2021 Masters National Championships.
The event has been officially canceled after Sun Valley made the final decision that they are unable
to host the event this year. Considerable effort was made to put together a plan that would allow
our championships event to be held following all applicable COVID guidelines, but unfortunately
it is not to be this season.

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 21-54, classes 1-5), B (men 55-64, classes 6-8), C (all women), and D (men 65+, classes 9-14). The SG and the GS events are 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 competes on their own course.
