[FWM News] Mammoth DH update: weather decision Mon AM

[Far West Masters news]

With a strong storm moving into the Sierra tonight and into tomorrow, 
with possibility of a foot or more of new snow on top of a warm soft 
snowpack, the Mammoth Race Department is monitoring the evolving 
weather conditions to assess the outlook for the scheduled Tue/Wed DH 
training and races.

After consultations this afternoon with Far West Masters officers, the 
plan is to evaluate the conditions in the morning and make a decision 
by 8AM on whether the races can be held.  As always with a speed event, 
safety will be the primary consideration.

We don't want to cancel prematurely, but if safe racing conditions will 
not be possible we'll make that determination early in the morning so 
we can get the word out to people with travel plans.

Attempts will be made to contact registered competitors this evening by 
email and phone.  Tomorrow morning's decision will be broadcast by 
email and posted on the web site as soon as possible.
