Us open age groups?

I went riding in the morning today and yesterday at Mountain Creek. The new snow fall(3 inches) hepled with conditions. Both racing trail and south peak were in great condition. I saw another guy on plates yesterday along with sic t 2. The guy on plates told me he rode in the US open. I had a friend who rode in the amatuer division in 1991, both slalom and GS. He is my age, 34. This guy looked much older than me though and I was wondering what kind of age groupings they have for the US open. Does everyone compete together or are people grouped by age. I assume they still have the US open at Stratton. By the way the 15 turns has now turned into 115. I regain strength and stamina quick.

As best as I can remember the US Open has not had Alpine events (SL or SG) for at least 3 years. When they did there was no age grouping, it was a one shot deal.
