About this event
The USASA Southern California Series brings its sanctioned boardercross competition to Bear Mountain at Big Bear Mountain Resort on Sunday, January 31, 2027, running 10:00 AM–3:00 PM PST. Per the resort's official event page the racing takes place on the Central Park and Hidden Valley trails (subject to change). Boardercross sends riders down a course of banked turns, rollers and jumps; under the USASA format age- and ability-based snowboard boardercross divisions are contested, and the Southern California Series also runs skier-cross for freeski members at its cross events. This is Round 1 & 2 of the series' boardercross discipline and one stop in Bear Mountain's 2026–27 USASA calendar that also includes Slalom/Giant Slalom (Dec 20, 2026), Slopestyle 1 (Jan 10, 2027), Slopestyle 2 (Feb 7, 2027), Halfpipe 1 & 2 (Feb 21, 2027) and Slopestyle 3 (Mar 7, 2027). Competing requires a USASA membership and event registration through USASA; the organization opened 2027-season membership and event registration on November 1, 2026. Spectators can watch from the resort with normal mountain access. USASA is a California-based non-profit of 10,000+ athletes, coaches and judges spanning 30 regional series and 500+ competitions a season, and is widely described as the first step in the Olympic pipeline for snowboarding and freeskiing. Exact per-event entry fees, start list, division heat times, and the final course/venue trail assignment are set through USASA and the host club and are not itemized on the resort event page, so confirm specifics on usasa.org before travel.
