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.

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.

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

Handicap scoring

Jula Fender will take over the scoring system created by Peter Wickland. It was developed so that at our yearly, season closing banquet we could recognize not only the fastest women and men racers in the club, but also, those racers who show the highest levels of race participation and show the most improvement in their times. The system utilizes the NASTAR race class and handicapping process and essentially levels the playing field so that all racers can compete. No matter if you are an expert or beginner, you can end up on the podium at the end of the season. If you want to learn a little more about the NASTAR handicapping system just visit their website — https://www.nastar.com/how-handicaps-work. There’s also a nice explanation on our website under the Racing – NASTAR tab.

For our purposes, we divide our racers into race classes using the NASTAR’S gender and age, race classification system. For the 2019 race season the number of racers was down somewhat which resulted in only one race class for women and three classes for men. The women’s class will be designated RED, the “youngest” men’s class will be BLUE, the more experienced men’s class will be YELLOW, and the master’s class will be GREEN.

At the beginning of this season, if you raced with the club last year, you started the season with a handicap that represented the best single race handicap you received in 2019. If you are a new racer this year, your starting handicap is the handicap you received on your very first run of the year. For your first race, we will determine how you did relative to the other racers in your class based on your combined two run times adjusted using your starting handicap. This is the Discounted Time. For the rest of the season’s races, the Discounted Time will be calculated using a rolling average of your handicaps from each day you race.

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.

In the results section of our website we will post the race class results half way through the season. This will give you an idea of where you stand in your class. Further results won’t be reported until the year end banquet, at which time the first, second, and third place finishers in each race class will be announced. We like to keep it a surprise.

So keep showing up at the races, try a little bit harder, race a little faster, and you might end up in the spotlight.

See you in the starting gate,

 

 

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.

2020 prices have not yet been determined.

  • 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 – $to be determined – 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. (both forms will be available July 1, 2019)

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 2018/2019 prices shown below and are per individual and may be updated for 2019/2020.

  • Daily
    One run – $4
    Two runs (same day) – $7
    Unlimited runs on a single day – $15
  • Sugarbush Resort NASTAR Season Pass
    Public – $120

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