Course

SRC races on Thursdays on the Sugarbush NASTAR course, located on the Racer’s Edge trail. The race format is giant slalom, dual course. Each racer must race one run on each course.

The course is dedicated to the club on Thursdays, and the club race runs from 10:00 AM until noon.  Racing begins in January and ends in March.

Once a year, we run a feature race on the Legends Arena course, which is set up on the skier’s right of the Spring Fling course.

Racers should register with the NASTAR web site and have a  NASTAR number. Registration is free and takes minutes.

Race fees

Please click the race fees tab at the top of this page.

Scoring

The SRC will use the NASTAR scoring and reporting system. Racers can log onto nastar.com and see how they rank nationwide against other racers in their age group and race category.

Additionally, the club has an internal club handicap system that is used for club awards and bragging rights. Internal club scoring applies to both individuals and club teams. For details on the internal club handicapping system please click the handicap scoring  tab at the top of this page.

Race status

In the case of race cancellation or postponement:

  • You will receive an email from SRC advising of cancellation or postponement.
  • The club members who will be set up in Gate House lodge to collect “day of” race registrations will be notified and will know the race status of the day.
  • Lincoln Peak Guest Services will announce over the Gate House loudspeaker system if the race is cancelled. Please do NOT call Guest Services to ask about race status, thanks.
  • The home page Twitter feed will be updated with the race status. If you are a Twitter user,  follow @sugarbushrc for updates.
  • The assumption is that parties will go on regardless of racing, but Twitter notifications will also indicate party status.

Racing schedule

Don’t miss the après-ski party following every SRC race that begins at 4:30pm at one of the great restaurants in the Valley. Enjoy good company, complimentary hors d’oeuvres, great door prizes, and get a first glimpse of the race results for that day.

Visit the social schedule for non-racing events and the gallery for photos and race videos.

We anticipate a Race focused group during Valley Ski Week December 17-24, 2018

SRC race clinics

If you are new to racing, or just want to polish your skills, clinics can really help.

We must have a minimum of five participants to run a clinic.
Please email racing@sugarbushracingclub.com if you are interested.
Also note that if you are not a paid registered club member the price of the clinic will be higher.  We will finalize starting times before the clinics begin, but you can assume that clinics will end by noon.  Emails are sent prior to the clinics which confirm dates, times and costs.
If you have other racing questions that the website cannot answer, please feel free to email racing@sugarbushracingclub.com  Also once coaches are assigned, we will share that information as well.

NASTAR (NAtional STAndard Race)

NASTAR (NAtional STAndard Race) is the world’s largest known recreational ski and snowboard race program. It allows racers of all ages and abilities, through a handicap system, to compare themselves with one another and with the national champion, regardless of where and when they race. NASTAR also holds regional and national championships each year, awarding medals in each age and class.

NASTAR handicap calculations

The National Standard is the Par Time or the “0” handicap which every racer competes against when they race NASTAR. The “0” handicap is typically set by a U.S. Ski Team racer or former champion. Runners-up establish handicaps against the winner by their lag time percentage. These ‘traveling pacesetters’ compete against pacesetters from each NASTAR resort at sanctioned Regional Pacesetting Trials jprior to the start of the following season.

These events enable pacesetters from each individual resort to establish their own certified handicap against the national champion’s Par Time or “0” handicap. The resort pacesetters use their certified handicap to set the Par Time at their local NASTAR course each racing day, and in turn give each participant who races at their resort a handicap that is referenced to the national champion. The Par Time is approximately the time the national NASTAR champion would have raced the course had he been there that day.

Every skier, regardless of ability or disability, can ski with a time referenced against the national champion, corrected for the specific resort and course conditions and his/her level. Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze designations are based on performance in several races, relative to each racer’s age, gender and ability group.

Registration

Club members should register with NASTAR and be able to provide their NASTAR number when registering to race club races. Registration can be done on the NASTAR website in minutes at http://skiracing.nastar.com/user/register

When you register with NASTAR, For Club Team select Sugarbush Race Club where it says “Choose Team”; for Resort Team select Sugarbush Resort where it says “Choose Team”.

Non-club NASTAR racing

32708773Handicap scoring

The classes are divided using the NASTAR race class system and combining classes if the numbers are small. This resulted in two race classes for women – F1 and F2, and four classes for men – M1, M2, M3, and M4.

For each race, class rankings will be based on combined times adjusted using a three race rolling average of your handicaps. I call this the Discounted Time. For the first race we will start with a clean slate for race handicaps. The Discounted Time for your first race will be calculated after the second race of the season, using the average handicap achieved from the first and second races. The Discounted Time for the second race will be calculated using your average handicap from the first race (this makes it harder to sand-bag).

Once Discounted Times are calculated, points are awarded in each class based on the number of people in the class who raced that day with the lowest Discounted Time getting the maximum points – which is the number of racers in that class that day (if seven racers raced in a class, the maximum points for that race would be seven for that class). Also, if you show up and give it a go but don’t finish both courses, you will be awarded at least one point. So the key to doing well in your class is to show up at all the races, and ski a little faster than your average handicap from the previous races. We also have what we call the Speed Class (or The Fast and the Furious Class) for both men and women. The top ten combined times for both men and women are awarded points from 10 to 1. It gives the speed demons a chance to battle it out, head-to-head.

Sugarbush Racing Club Race Pass v. Sugarbush Resort NASTAR season pass

There is often confusion among members as to the difference between the Sugarbush Racing Club Race Pass and a Sugarbush Resort NASTAR season pass. These are not the same thing.  The key difference is immediately below; for more detail keep reading!

Purchasing an SRC 8-Race Pass from Sugarbush Racing Club does NOT allow you to ski the Sugarbush race course on weekends and holidays for free.

Purchasing a NASTAR season pass from Sugarbush resort does NOT allow you to race in Sugarbush Racing Club Thursday races for free.

Sugarbush Resort and Sugarbush Racing Club are two different entities.

Sugarbush Racing Club

Sugarbush Racing Club contracts with Sugarbush Resort each year to run an 8-race series, currently run on Thursdays.

Sugarbush Racing Club pays Sugarbush Resort a fee for this service.

Sugarbush Racing Club recovers these costs from its members by charging the club members to race in Club races on Thursdays.

If you are a Sugarbush Racing Club member, you therefore need to pay the Club when you run the club races on Thursdays.

Sugarbush Racing Club offers two cost models for this:  a weekly “pay as you go”, or a race pass/pack.

2018 prices were as follows:

  • Weekly – $15 – Pay the Club each week you are able to race, at a cost of $15 per race (requires you to register to race each week).
  • Season – $100 – Buy a race pass from the Sugarbush Racing Club that allows you to run all 8 Thursday races (go directly to the start shack, no weekly registration). Select a Race Pass on the membership form or purchase it separately by selecting Race Pass on the Membership page

Sugarbush Racing Club takes advantage of the Sugarbush Resort NASTAR timing system to score the Club races.  Results are uploaded to nastar.com.

Sugarbush Resort

Sugarbush Resort contracts with USSA and NASTAR to use their licensed timing system on the designated resort race course (currently Racer’s Edge).

Sugarbush Resort pays a fee for this service.

Sugarbush Resort recovers these costs by charging the public to run the race course on weekends (Fri-Sat-Sun) and holidays.

Sugarbush Resort offers two cost models for this: a daily “pay as you go”, or a season pass.

Sugarbush Resort 2017 prices are below, and are per individual:

  • Daily
    One run – $5
    Two runs (same day) – $9
    Unlimited runs on a single day – $20
  • Sugarbush Resort NASTAR Season Pass
    Public – $129
    SRC Members – $75
    Sugarbush Employees and Mountain Ambassadors – $64.50

Results use the NASTAR timing system, and are uploaded to nastar.com.
