Nature Valley NASTAR will offer more special events and more action than ever!
The Nature Valley NASTAR Open has expanded this year to include a Midwest event and an Eastern event. The NASTAR Open events utilize the same basic structure as the National Championships with race clinics, parties, concerts and races for age and ability groups. Participants that win their age and ability group will be invited to compete in the Race of Champions for overall titles.  The Nature Valley NASTAR Open, Race of Champions is a handicapped race that levels the playing field so that young and old, fast and slow competitors have an opportunity to win. Each competitor that wins a Nature Valley NASTAR Open title will carry their winning handicap into the Race of Champions. Each participant’s time is discounted using their handicap to get their adjusted time. The Race of Champions includes divisions for male and female alpine racers and male and female combined racers (snowboard, telemark & physically challenged participants). Overall Race of Champions winners will be given a complimentary entry to the Nature Valley NASTAR National Championships. In addition, competitors with the fastest raw times in each divisional race will be given complimentary entries to the Nature Valley NASTAR National Championships. Participants that make it to the Race of Champions will automatically qualify for the Nature Valley NASTAR National Championships.
 Winter Park is excited to host the Nature Valley NASTAR National Championships for the next two years and their plan for the event shows their commitment. Put the dates on your calendar and start focusing on qualifying.The Championships will be a festival that celebrates the sport of alpine racing and it will be a reunion for the top recreational racers in the country. Participants will also get to race and socialize with some of the US Ski Team’s best current and former athletes. You won’t want to miss it!
