Hyland Saturday League Cancelled

The Hyland Saturday league which was scheduled to start January 9th is cancelled due to lack of registrations.  Unfortunately, only one team registered for the league.  In order to have a league, we need at least four teams.

We are disappointed and sorry that this can’t happen this year.  If you were thinking of joining the Hyland league, please check out our other leagues offered at Buck Hill and Wild Mountain.  You can find information for these leagues here:  SKI CHALLENGE LEAGUES

Wild Mountain Wednesday Canceled

Wild Mountain Wednesday, December 9th is canceled.  Wild Mountain is closing for the day.  We will have Week 2 on December 16th.  We are working with Wild Mountain to schedule week 3.  We are tentatively scheduling it for Wednesday, December 23.

We will probably move the Wild Mountain Pacesetter Trials to Wednesday, December 23 also.

NASTAR Results / Website Update


NASTAR Results

NASTAR results are currently unavailable.  As of December 3, NASTAR does not have any working software to integrate with its website.  Ski Challenge normally submits scores the day after each race to NASTAR for our racers to be ranked nationally.  USSA purchased NASTAR in the Spring and made the decision not to sign on the existing NASTAR software developer.  Ski Challenge is currently working closely with NASTAR to try and post scores in some way.  We will update this information as we get it.


RACE THE GATES for Wild Mountain

The past NASTAR software developer has started his own program, Race the Gates, to post scores online.  Wild Mountain is using Race the Gates to time our Ski Challenge Races (they used to use NASTAR, but that is unavailable at this time).  Ski Challenge will submit all Wild Mountain races for Ski Challenge to both NASTAR and Race the Gates.  This program is similar to the NASTAR program.  Buck Hill scores will only be sent in to NASTAR when that is available.  To see more information go here:  RACE THE GATES


Ski Challenge scores will always be posted by the next day on the Ski Challenge Website.  Check out all your results BY CLICKING HERE and scrolling down.
