Teddy Cantanho's family has sent us a copy of her obituary - we've 
posted on the web site.  A lovely, amazing lady.

The summer solstice and the 4th of July holiday have been celebrated 
and the 2011 ski season is slowly winding down at last, with Mammoth 
and Squaw both offering holiday skiing before closing for the season. 
There's still a lot of snow in the high country, but summer activities 
are on now in full swing for most.

The major events schedule for the 2012 season is in place, highlighted 
by the FIS International Masters World Criterium at Mammoth Mountain on 
March 27-31. This is the FIS masters season finale and a big event for 
the Europeans, and we can expect a top-quality racing event from 
Mammoth. Western Regionals will be hosted by Big Sky on Feb. 2-5, with 
the National Championships at Park City on Mar. 19-23. Both the 
regionals and nationals will offer 4-event SC/SG/GS/SL racing. Because 
Park City is not able to hold a downhill, the national championship 
downhill will be hosted by Rocky Mountain at the Mar. 10-11 Ski Cooper 
DH.

Mt. Hood camps will be running this summer on a great base from last 
winter. The Summer Fun Nationals will be held Jul. 22-23 - this is a 
fun race weekend with a GS and SL, see link below for info and online 
registration. For something a bit more exotic, consider a South 
American race camp in September including an International Masters race 
to establish your seed points for the Criterium.

Olympic and national team downhiller Stacey Cook is organizing a fall 
dryland training camp weekend for masters in Mammoth at the end of 
September. The camp will include strength and fitness training 
sessions, along with the priceless opportunity to learn from someone 
who's at the top of her sport.
