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.
