USASA Halfpipe 1 & 2 — Bear Mountain 2027

About this event

Bear Mountain at Big Bear Mountain Resort hosts USASA Halfpipe 1 & 2 on Sunday, February 21, 2027 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM PST. The resort publishes the two contests as one event occurrence and warns that competition activity will affect the halfpipe for most of the day; timing and course availability remain subject to change. This is a United States of America Snowboard and Freeski Association (USASA) Southern California Series stop for snowboard and freeski halfpipe, where athletes make judged runs through the pipe rather than racing a timed course. Competition entry is open exclusively to registered Team Bear athletes. The exact page presents a Register section that routes prospects to the Team Bear freestyle program rather than a public event checkout, so this record does not call registration closed and does not imply walk-up entry. Team Bear serves ski and snowboard athletes ages 6–17. Its 26/27 applications remain open, but applying is only the first step and does not guarantee acceptance, remaining roster capacity, or entry in either halfpipe contest. Current athletes should follow Team Bear and USASA instructions. No event-specific field cap, waitlist, same-day signup, contest fee, division list or registration deadline is public. Spectating is encouraged: the resort invites guests to cheer on the athletes. No separate spectator admission, reserved seating, grandstand or guaranteed pipe-side viewing is published. A lift ticket or pass is required to ride lifts and reach lift-served viewing; parking and riding access are separate. The halfpipe may be unavailable to the public for most of the day, and all viewing follows terrain closures, the Responsibility Code and staff direction. This is the fifth stop on Bear Mountain’s published 26/27 USASA calendar, following Slalom/Giant Slalom 1 & 2 on December 20, Slopestyle 1 on January 10, Boardercross 1 & 2 on January 31 and Slopestyle 2 on February 7. Slopestyle 3 on March 7 closes the sequence. USASA operates 30 regional series and 500+ contests each season, culminating in Nationals at Copper Mountain and providing an established development pathway for snowboarders and freeskiers. The organizer has not published how Halfpipe 1 and Halfpipe 2 divide the five-hour window, division or heat timing, practice or check-in times, run count, judging panel, scoring format, start list, awards timing, livestream, capacity or results destination.
