The Series
Featuring parallel giant slalom and parallel slalom competitions, this three-stop series is hosted by top resorts across the country. Total prize money of $9,000 ($3,000 per event) is up for grabs and an overall champion is named at the final event.
Top finishers earn "nation's quota" starting spots at the Visa U.S. Snowboarding Cup, a World Cup competition held annually in Lake Placid, NY. Young riders competing in the Race to the Cup are also eligible to qualify for the FIS Snowboarding Junior World Championships and the U.S. Snowboarding Project Gold Team, an opportunity to train with U.S. Snowboarding at their annual summer camp.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
