What is USASA?

Long story short, USASA stands for United States of America Ski/Snowboard Association. It is an organization that is trying to push the sport of skiing and snowboarding as far as it will go. It pushes competition skiing and snowboarding specifically and in doing so they hope to help men, women, boys and girls of all ages achieve their goals to become big in the sport of their preference. I use to compete through this organization, it helped me get sponsored by multiple companies and really just helped me get closer to living my dream.

Below is a link to the Website for USASA, if you would like to learn more about USASA, please check it out. It may help you understand what the sport is all about.

Holderness Team Wraps It Up!

February 21, 2014

Most of the teams season has come to a conclusion as of Friday. In celebration of a great season for the lakes region team we decided it was only appropriate to host our annual Gaper day! Gaper day is a day where you just fool around. You dress up in pretty much some of the silliest things you can find and have a blast on the mountain.
      The season may be over for some of the team but the nationals competitors are still training in full force in preparation for nationals held in Copper Colorado early April.

The Team Wins Lakes Region Championship!

February 19, 2014

The team traveled to Killington Vermont Wednesday to compete for the Lakes Region Championships. The team has been killing it all season traveling all across the lakes region resorts competing against other ski teams and managed to win every single competition that we have attended which amounts to around 14 competitions. We started strong and ended stronger, capping off the season with a victory at the championships.
