The top American ski racers in the technical disciplines will be at Aspen Highlands and Snowmass in March 2020 and again in 2022 for the U.S. Alpine Tech Championships, it was announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The championships will include men\u2019s and women\u2019s slalom, giant slalom and parallel slalom, the U.S. Ski Team and Aspen Skiing Co. said in a news release.<\/p>\n

The Aspen Valley Ski & Snowboard Club will help host the events, which were last in Aspen 60 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only will our older athletes have the chance to compete with the best in the country on their home hill, but our younger athletes will have the chance to watch, interact with, and be inspired by the top competitors in their sport,\u201d Mark Godomsky, executive director of AVSC, said in the news release. \u201cWe are incredibly grateful and proud of the Aspen Highlands race venue, and can\u2019t wait to share it with athletes and clubs around the country during this awesome event.\u201d <\/p>\n

The schedule in March 2020 is: parallel slalom, March 28 at Snowmass racing area; and the other events will be at Aspen Highlands, including men\u2019s and women\u2019s slalom March 29, women\u2019s giant slalom, March 30 and men\u2019s giant slalom March 31.<\/p>\n

The week before the Tech Championships, Snowmass will host the NASTAR National Championship from March 24 through 28. NASTAR is a youth feeder program for the U.S. Ski Team.<\/p>\n

For the first time, both events will be at the same venue, allowing the top recreational racers to have the unique opportunity to compete side-by-side with the best American alpine ski racing athletes, according to the release.<\/p>\n

The NASTAR race will return to Snowmass in March 2021 as well.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story that will be updated.<\/em><\/p>\n
