The 2024 US Alpine Masters National Championships, sponsored in part by A Racer's Edge, were hosted by Central Division at Granite Peak WI on Feb. 5-10, 2024. The 2024 nationals are a 4-event championship with SG, GS, SL, and a parallel GS. There will also be a second SG race that is not part of the national championship scoring. Both SG races are part of the 2025 National Speed Series standings.
The national championship DH will be held on Jan. 23-24 at Mammoth Mountain CA.
Both DH races are included in the
2024 National Speed Series standings.
** Mammoth DH races cancelled ** (rescheduling options are being investigated) [Tue Jan. 10]
** Championship Scoring Rules ** The combined age class champions scoring ("triple-combined") is based on the total race points scored in the three races SG #1, GS, and SL. The 4 races SG1-GS-SL and the parallel GS are counted for the Nationals Masters Team and Divisions Cup scoring. The second SG race is not part of the national championship scoring, but both SG races count in the 2024 National Speed Series standings.

The detailed event schedule is posted on the Masters page on usskiandsnowboard.org:
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 18-49, classes 1-5), B (men 50-64, 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 generally competes on their own course.
