Awards are starting now
The weekend of Feb 16-17 is a SkillsQuest Event on Saturday and the Paul Augustine Junior Championships. The registration for this is on the Team Afton website and not through our regular MYUSSA registration. There is a limited number of starts so enter early. All information is on the flyer below.
The Nagy Alpine Growth Scholarship (NAGS) and the Youth Alpine Development Fund are pleased to announce that they will be awarding Four $1,000 scholarships again this season. The winners will need to demonstrate a positive attitude and carry themselves in a manner that would make our old friend Dan proud.
Region Members,
Welcome to the 2018-2019 ski season. I hope you all had a great summer and are excited about the upcoming ski season. Region 1 registration is now open so please register soon.
Region 1 has two separate programs, please make sure you are registering for the correct program. If you would like to compare programs you can visit our website Region 1 Programs.
The following provides a short description of each program. Parents can choose either program each of their athletes. Registering more than one child at a time is easy.
Lunar Cup
The Lunar Cup program is available to U12 and under athletes. This program gives 4 days of racing plus all regional and USSA dues in a single price. The Lunar cup has a season long award which will be presented at our final Lunar Cup race of the year.
Additional Lunar Cup Information
USSA Program
Our USSA program consists of Non-Scored and Scored racing. Athletes under 14 years on January 1, 2019 are Non-Scored. Athletes 14 and older on January 1, 2019 are Scored. These programs require a USSA license as well as Region 1 registration.
If you are also planning to race FIS and are 16 or older you will need a FIS license which can be acquired during USSA registration.
Before you register for the USSA programs, you must have a valid 2018-2019 competitor license from USSA (FIS is optional for U19 athletes). USSA Membership Link

You've seen Portillo on our bibs and on our trailers -- Now it's time to see Portillo in person!
Portillo is a long-time proud sponsor of Region 1 racing, providing significant cash support each season.
There is no better place to ski in our summers. In fact, several World Cup teams train there each season. Please see the attachments; one provides an overview of the Portillo experience, and the other describes their summer race camps.
Bill Guidera from Team Gilboa represents Portillo, and he will be at Afton this weekend for our races. Feel free to find him with you questions, (he'll be in white pants and a black jacket). You can also contact Bill directly at billguidera@hotmail.com and 952-826-9306.
Many thanks.
Learn to tune your skis by a professional so you can get that perfect tune when you are traveling to races!
