Pacesetter

For each Ski Challenge race a pacesetter skis to establish the par-time. These pacesetters are hired by the ski area. Pacesetters compete early each year to determine their pacesetting handicaps at the NASTAR Regional pacesetting trials. For the rest of the season, every Ski Challenge racer will measure his/her performance based on these pacesetter handicaps.  Mid-season adjustments are sometimes needed to balance how one pacesetter is skiing relative to the others.

It is the goal of the Ski Challenge to be consistent.  The pacesetters are required to ski as close to their pacesetting handicap as possible.  To achieve their number may require the pacesetter to take additional runs on the courses.  Ski Challenge participants count their best run out of two.  For consistency, we do not want the pacesetter to use a bad run on either of the courses.

See the following link for updated pacesetter handicaps.
