2026 USASA Southern California Series — Slopestyle 1 at Bear Mountain

About this event

The 2026 USASA Southern California Series Slopestyle 1 was a sanctioned amateur snowboard and freeski slopestyle contest held on Sunday, February 1, 2026 at Bear Mountain in Big Bear Lake, California — the season-opening slopestyle of the Southern California Series (its Slopestyle 2 counterpart followed on March 1). Riders dropped through a terrain-park slopestyle course of jumps, rails, and jib features, earning USASA points toward the Southern California Series standings and the 2026 USASA national rankings that feed qualification for the USASA National Championships. The event offered 60 age-graded divisions across snowboard and freeski — from Rascal (ages 5-6) through Legend (50 & over), plus Open Class and inclusive Kekoa and Para (adaptive) categories — making it a genuine grassroots entry point for Southern California park riders of every age and ability. Results were officially scored and published on Liveheats and the USASA regional site: 25 divisions drew entrants and 78 competitors took part, with 24 divisions producing published podiums. Bear Mountain, run by Big Bear Mountain Resort, is the premier freestyle terrain-park mountain for the Los Angeles region, roughly 100 miles from central Los Angeles, and its parks host the USASA Southern California Series all winter — making this the closest sanctioned snowboard/freeski slopestyle competition series to LA. This record documents a completed event; registration and entry are closed and results are final.
