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.
