2016 Medal Scoring Chart

The Ski Challenge Scoring Charts have been updated for the 2015-16 season.

We try and match NASTAR as close as possible.  Through the years, NASTAR has made scoring for the upper age brackets of the men more difficult than Ski Challenge.  We are slowly moving toward NASTAR, but don’t want to make a drastic change all at once.

NASTAR has partnered up with USSA making the kids’ age categories slightly different from year’s past.  Adult age categories have remained the same.

To see the scoring charts for this year follow this link:
