How to Race with Us
Purchase a U.S. Ski & Snowboard License (Required)
Mid-Atlantic Masters is a U.S. Ski & Snowboard affiliated Masters race league, which means that our races are all officially sanctioned by USSS. Since we run USSS-sanctioned races, you will need to hold a USSS license to participate in our events. There are a few options:
- Short Term Alpine Masters license ($36/day)
- You can purchase a short term license once per season, to cover a single event of up to three races. At Mid-Atlantic Masters, our events typically span a single weekend.
- For example, if you choose to participate in our Belleayre event and race in both the Friday GS and the Saturday SL, you will need to purchase two short term licenses for a total cost of $72 ($36/day).
- If you have not held a USSS license in the past year, we can provide you with a complimentary ($0) short-term license for your first race day. Contact us at [email protected] to request your free first-day license.
- Your short term license purchase can be applied to a full license purchase later in the season.
