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:

Jackson Hole is once again offering our Ski Challenge members a discounted price at the Ticket Window this season!

What’s in store for NASTAR?  Thanks to Ryan Fuller of Midwest Masters for sharing the information he got from Bill Madsen, Director of NASTAR:

1. What will happen with NASTAR pricing? Will prices go up?
   Pricing will not change.
2. What is going to happen in the immediate future?
   Our goal is to unite alpine racing under one organization so that we can promote the sport and its stars
3. Will the NASTAR racing that I am used to change?
   NASTAR racing will not change as you know it. We do want to involve more organizations so that NASTAR can be used as a complete event management system for race administrators. We want it to be easier to host races and provide participants with more information about their experience. We want NASTAR to be used as a universal scoring system to connect alpine racers.
4. Will NASTAR scoring change?
   No.
5. Who runs NASTAR now? Who owns it? Is this a permanent change?
   The USSA administers NASTAR and the goal is to make this a permanent change. NASTAR is a franchise that is provided to resorts and clubs annually.
6. Why was this decision made?
   The change was made to bring all levels of alpine racing under one roof. With NASTAR operated by the USSA there will be a seamless transition for athletes to move from NASTAR racing, to USSA racing, to FIS racing.

Ski Challenge will be matching the NASTAR age groups for this year.  Because of NASTAR’s alignment with USSA, some of the kids categories have changed.  Our scoring chart will still remain slightly different for some of our “older” age groups.  We would like to move toward matching NASTAR eventually and will gradually move toward this goal through the upcoming seasons.

Age Groups:
1-5
6-7
8-9
10-11
12-13
14-15
16-17
18-20
21-24
25-29
The rest of the age groups will remain the same.

Tentative Bonus leagues for the 2015-16 Season include:

• BHPREF
• WMPRE
• WMFRI
• WMSUNA
