Participants ages 6 and under race free. NASTAR is open to Alpine Skiers, Boarders, and Telemark Skiers. We always appreciate assistance setting up and tearing down the course, so arrive a little early or plan to stick around afterwards if you have time.

Mt Ashwabay Summit Nordic Ski Race
The annual race showcases 45 kilometers of skate and classic cross country trails at Mt. Ashwabay and the adjacent Jerry Jolly trails. The trail system is a regional hub for cross country skiers because of the reliable grooming, scenic setting and the duration of snow cover. This event utilizes courses that gives skiers a chance to ski the Northern Lights trail, which climbs through mature stands of birch, maple and hemlocks on the back side of the ridge. The Ashwabay Summit Tour includes a 15K adult skate race; a 25K adult continuous pursuit event (10K classic + 15K skate); a 3.5K freestyle event for youth and middle schoolers; and a 7K Wisconsin Nordic Ski League high school race, and a college race. |
