This series of races is open to all recreational skiers, regardless of ability. Whether you compete as an individual or on a ski club team, the ASRA SERIES has what you're looking for. Good courses, great people, and lots of fun! Events are held in three regions, giving skiers the opportunity to race, and to meet new people. Experts climb to new levels, and beginning racers mingle with the "top dawgs". Everyone learns new techniques and picks up equipment and tuning tips. Ability levels of participants range from intermediate to super elite; ages from 5 to 75.
Regional races feature medals for age-groups, and the events have random prize drawings so you may win sponsor prizes even if you're not fast. Competitors also accrue points for season awards and the opportunity to participate in the ASRA Nationals.
