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:
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“There is in every either-or a certain naivete which may well befit the evaluator, but ill- becomes the thinker, for whom opposites dissolve in series of transitions.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
