NASTAR is the acronym for the National Standard Race and is the largest public recreational grassroots ski racing program in the world.

Developed in 1968, NASTAR provides a fun, competitive and easily accessible recreational ski racing program that, through the development of a handicap system, allows skiers of all ages and abilities to compare themselves against their friends, family members and the U.S. Ski Team regardless of when and where they race.

Public NASTAR courses are available on either Snowmass or Aspen Mountain. The Aspen Mountain NASTAR course is open daily from 11am-3pm and the Snowmass NASTAR course is open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 11am-2pm. Please call ahead for closures due to weather or private races.

The Race Department will take racers’ best times against the pacesetter's time and handicap to determine medals according to age groups.


Please note: Public NASTAR will be closed at Aspen Mountain and Snowmass from March 23, 2020 through April 1, 2020 due to the hosting of the NASTAR National and US Alpine Tech Championships.

Race Registration

Groups desiring private NASTAR events are strongly encouraged to schedule race registration through Group Services. This service is complimentary for groups expecting over 50 racers. If your group is having an opening reception or party, the Race Department can send a representative to discuss race formats and organize pre-race paperwork. This eliminates congestion on race day.
