The Far West Masters will have a General Membership Meeting at
approximately 2:00 PM Friday April 15th following the GS race (exact
time subject to completion of the day's racing). The meeting will be
held in the "Slopeside" building where the Mammoth Race Department is
located (the small building located on the west side of the Main Lodge,
just past the base of Ch. 1 Broadway Express lift).
(agenda will be posted in a few days)
Mt. Rose McKinney Cup
---------------------
After 100+ mph winds forced Mt. Rose to close on Saturday, the 2011
McKinney Cup came down to a spring GS battle on Silver Dollar. In a
strong comeback from a January injury that kept her off the hill
through the heart of the season, Linda Crowell (W07) took the women's
title, while first-year FW masters racer Seth Cronin-Wilton (M02)
showed he knows how to tackle a challenging race hill as he edged out
newly-crowned M07 national champ Pierre Jeangirard for the men's title.
Complete results are posted on the Race Results page along with the
updated Season Standings rankings for 2011 going into the season finals
at Mammoth on Apr. 13-17. Race photos by Flowski Pix are available
online:
