The 29th Annual USASA National Championships kicked off at Copper Mountain, CO with the opening ceremonies celebrating 1,900 competitors. These athletes came from 32 regional series across the United States.

Snowboard competitions were completed the first week of April and NYSEF had a few athletes competing against the best snowboarders in the country. NYSEF Athletes were top competitors in the slope style, boarder cross and rail jam competitions.
