Hi Mera,
There is no standard (yet) developed for the exchange of data such as 
SNPs. We incorporate data from multiple sources, each having a different 
format, transforming them into our own format. One option for you is to 
use our standardized imported data and then create custom tracks using 
our tools to view your data in our browser along with the rest.

Our SNP data can be found in "Variation and Repeats" track groupings 
within genomic assemblies. Click on the track descriptions to see the 
data sources and formating information. For example, in the Human 2006 
assembly, there is a track called "SNPs (129)". This track contains 
dbSNP build 129, available from ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp

If creating a custom track appeals to you, here is a link to our FAQ:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQcustom

Also, one of our developers passed along a link to me that you may find 
interesting/helpful:

Thank you,
Jennifer Jackson
