[Far West Masters news]

Labor Day has come and gone and our great West Coast late summer 
weather is starting to offer hints of fall. It'll be ski season again 
before too long, so it's not too soon to start planning for the coming 
race season!

Membership packages and the final 2012 season schedule will be out this 
month and we're starting to get information about preseason camps.

Coming up at the end of this month: a dryland training camp with US 
racing star Stacey Cook in Mammoth CA to get your fitness foundation in 
place for the racing season.

Preseason Camps
---------------

Information about preseason training camps will be posted as 
information is available. Coming up in just a few weeks is a fall 
dryland training camp with Olympic and national team racer Stacey Cook. 
This is a 3-day camp in Mammoth where you'll have a chance to learn 
training techniques and philosophies direct from one of our most 
successful American racers.
