NASTAR is now closed for the season.

NASTAR is the acronym for the National Standard Race. Developed in 1968, NASTAR is the largest public recreational grassroots ski race program in the world.

NASTAR's mission is to provide a fun, competitive and easily accessible recreational ski racing program. Through the development of a handicap system it allows skiers of all ages and abilities a means to compare themselves against their friends, family members and the U.S. Ski Team regardless of when and where they race.
