The Central Division consists of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Missouri.

Racers range in age from 18 to over 80 years old. Races follow U.S. Ski & Snowboard rules, with some adjustments per Midwest Masters. Based upon the race, competitors compete based on age class and/or ability class. This allows racers to compete directly with those in their age group as well as those at their ability level.
The Eastern Division is governed by the Eastern Masters Committee and is divided into four masters series: New England, New York, Mid-Atlantic and Southern.

The New York series offers an incredible value for its participants. In addition to having access to some of the best race hills and race crews in the Upstate New York, we also continue to have a two race format that allows for four race runs per day. Even with four race runs, there is still ample time for free skiing and après race activities. Most race fees include lift ticket, adult beverages, and après ski food in addition to the race.
The schedule includes SL, GS and SG and is subject to change as the season progresses.

We welcome racers of all levels. From beginners with a passion to learn, Nastar racers, former college racers, ex-Olympians to anyone else who loves to improve their racing and enjoy the social life with other adult racers who have a passion for ski racing. With an age range of 18 to over 90 years old, racers compete in age brackets of five-year increments. The fastest 10 men are pulled from their age classes and put in a Super Seed, allowing the elite to compete with each other while creating more opportunity for age class racers to medal as well.
Intermountain Masters hosts races at ski areas in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and jointly in Montana with Northern Division Masters. Average race days consist of 2 runs with first run in the morning and second run in the early afternoon. The idea is to combine ski racing with plenty of time for free skiing at numerous world class resorts, social events and to allow plenty of travel time. Each race day ends with an awards party and the opportunity to socialize on and off the slopes.
