USASA Slopestyle 1 — Bear Mountain 2027

About this event

Bear Mountain at Big Bear Mountain Resort hosts the first USASA Slopestyle contest of the 2026/27 season on Sunday, January 10, 2027 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM PST. The official event page states the competition will take place on the Central Park terrain park and is subject to change. This is a United States of America Snowboard and Freeski Association (USASA) Southern California Series stop for snowboard and freeski slopestyle — riders are judged on a run through a sequence of jumps, rails and jib features rather than on a timed course. Racing is open exclusively to registered Team Bear athletes. There is no public race checkout on the current event page, so do not read the "Register" label as an open walk-up signup. Team Bear is Big Bear Mountain Resort's youth ski and snowboard competition program (currently serving athletes roughly ages 6–17); prospective athletes can submit the Team Bear application, but the organizer is explicit that applying is only the first step and does not guarantee acceptance, roster space, or entry in this contest. Current athletes should follow the registration instructions supplied directly by Team Bear and USASA. No event-specific field cap, waitlist, entry fee, or per-division heat schedule is published. Spectating is open and encouraged — the resort invites guests to "cheer on the talented athletes." There is no spectator admission charge, reserved seating, grandstand, or guaranteed course-side viewing area. A valid lift ticket or season pass is required to ride the chairlifts and reach on-hill viewing; parking and riding products are sold separately. Base-area sightlines to Central Park are not guaranteed, and all viewing follows resort access, closures, the Responsibility Code, and staff direction. USASA is a California-based non-profit of more than 10,000 athletes, coaches, judges and fans spanning 30 regional series and 500+ competitions each season at over 120 resorts, culminating in Nationals at Copper Mountain; it is widely described as the first step in the Olympic pipeline for snowboarding and freeskiing. This Slopestyle 1 stop is the second event in Bear Mountain's published 26/27 USASA lineup, which also includes Slalom/Giant Slalom 1 & 2 (Dec 20, 2026), Boardercross 1 & 2 (Jan 31, 2027), Slopestyle 2 (Feb 7, 2027), Halfpipe 1 & 2 (Feb 21, 2027) and Slopestyle 3 (Mar 7, 2027). The organizer has not published the heat/division breakdown, run count, judging panel, scoring format, awards timing, or a finish time beyond the 10 AM–3 PM window, and the course and schedule are subject to weather and operational changes.
