[FWM News] Season Opening

[Far West Masters news]

Thanksgiving is upon us and the season-opening races at Mammoth are less than two weeks away! After 
several nice early-season winter storms, the Sierra ski areas are coming into the holidays with 
good conditions - welcomed by all after last year's dry conditions! Mammoth opened as scheduled on 
Nov. 8 and is opening more terrain by the day, while all the areas around the Tahoe basin are 
either already open (Squaw, Heavenly, Kirkwood, Northstar) or opening this weekend (Mt. Rose, 
Sierra at Tahoe).

Mammoth will be holding the masters training camp next week, Mon-Fri Nov. 26-30, featuring GS and 
SL training, 4 hours per day. The training is geared towards serious racers and features drills, 
progressions and gate training along with video and timed runs. Come for the full week or by the 
day. See the info flyer for details and daily schedule; contact the Mammoth Race Department for any 
questions and to let them know when you'll be attending.

Use SkiRaceReg.com to enter online - it's the easiest and most reliable way to submit entries. With 
our generous cancellation policy, there's no penalty for early signup - you can cancel anytime up 
to the day before the race. If this is your first visit to SkiRaceReg.com this season, don't be 
confused by the somewhat confusing welcome pages about renewing your membership - your 
SkiRaceReg.com account is only used for race signups (not for your Far West Masters membership or 
USSA masters license). You'll need to provide a credit card to activate your account for the 
season, but there are no fees charged until we process entries at the time of the race(s) that you 
have entered.
