NASTAR medals recognize a race performance against the handicap standard for your age, gender and discipline. Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze each have a range on the giant slalom handicap chart. A separate slalom chart applies to slalom racing.
Applicable discipline discounts are used for the medal calculation. Your actual handicap remains on your racer record.
Collecting your medal
Ask race staff where to collect the medal you earned. Custom NASTAR medals carry the mountain's name or approved logo, making them a keepsake from the place you raced.
If you left without a medal or need a replacement, contact that mountain. It handles local medal distribution and can tell you what is available.
Online badges are separate achievements shown on your racer record. They do not replace the physical medals awarded through the local program.
