Welcome to the United States Ski and Snowboard Association, the national governing body for competitive skiing and snowboarding. The USSA offers competition programs for aspiring athletes of all ages and ability levels.

Your USSA Club or coach may have told you that you need to a USSA membership in order to participate in certain events. The USSA's Membership Services Department will help you obtain the membership that's right for your level of competition.

To become a USSA member and be eligible to participate in USSA competitions, simply complete a USSA Membership Application and submit it directly to the USSA office via mail or fax. Applications are specific to each sport (alpine, freestyle, snowboard, cross country, and jumping/nordic combined), so be sure to fill out the proper form.

Here's a few quick steps to guide you through the application:

• Click here to download the application for your sport. For more on USSA membership categories and fees, click here.
• Make sure the application is complete before submitting.
• Doublecheck that you have completed the insurance information and signed the waiver.
• If you do not have primary medical insurance, complete the Medical Exception Agreement shown below and return with your application.
  
• Include the correct payment for the membership, plus any division or state dues  or processing feess that may apply (new members are not subject to USSA late fees or division/state late fees).
  

Once the USSA receives your application, it takes anywhere from one day to several weeks to process depending on the time of the competition season. Memberships are processed in the order they are received in the USSA office. Please submit your application at least two weeks prior to your first event in order to allow time for processing and the mailing of your membership card. Once your membership has been processed, you will receive a USSA membership card, a USSA Competition Guide, and a magazine subscription, each sent separately.

If you need verification of membership before your membership card arrives in the mail, simply click here to print a verification letter. Enter your first and last name, then click ENTER or FIND. If processed, the membership number will be highlighted. Then simply click on the highlighted membership number and print.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to call the USSA Member Service Hotline at 435.647.2666 or email USSA at membership@ussa.org. The USSA's business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Time.
