WELCOME TO The
Midwest Alpine Challenge
Saturday, February 21th – The Midwest Alpine Challenge is back for its second year as one of the only races that brings together all leagues and organizations in the Midwest for one of the most fun racing experiences of the year.
With collaboration between Midwest Masters, Midwest Race League, Ski Challenge, and with Welch Village hosting: You do not want to miss this race!
The Ultimate Team Challenge Begins!
Scoring
The Midwest Alpine Challenge will use modified NASTAR Handicaps. Fastest racer down each run will be the ‘0’ and all other racers will be handicapped off that time using the standard NASTAR Scoring Charts
For 2026 NASTAR team scoring will be used to calculate overall team scores. For More information on how that is calculated, please click: HERE
Each team will score their top 5 highest scoring racers PER RUN (If you fall on the first run, you can still count on your second run!)
Final score will be your team score for each run added together
Individual Event Scoring: Top 5 LOWEST COMBINED TIME for both runs for both Male & Female
Registration
Registration will close once race cap is reached!
