Age Categories
AMSA provides for competition in the following age groups for both men and women:
30- 39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70 plus.
Race Categories
* Slalom (SL)are traditionally the shortest race. They are comprised of close together turns or gates. Each competitor makes one run, then the course is reset on the same slope, but, with position of the gates changed. The same day, those skiers qualifying for the second run make their run. The fastest combined times of the two runs is the winner.
* Giant slalom (GS) races are similar to the slalom races, but, there are fewer gates and wider turns are needed to navigate through them in the GS. As in slalom, skiers make two runs down two different courses on the same slope in the same day. The times of both runs are added together, and the fastest total time determines the winner.
* Super-G (SG) is short for super giant slalom. Races are run on a course longer than the GS, set faster and almost always with a couple of jumps. The skier with the fastest time over one run only is the winner.
