[FWM News] Bernard Cup at Alpine Meadows

[Far West Masters news]

The 2014 Bernard Cup event, traditionally held at Squaw Valley, was moved this year to neighboring 
Alpine Meadows to take advantage of the better racing conditions available on Kangaroo. While the 
continuing warm and dry conditions that have blanketed the Far West this season have been 
challenging for both racers and ski areas, we ended up having a spectacular weekend of warm 
spring-like weather combined with an outstanding racing surface that held up well for all 
competitors.

Race director John Black and the Alpine race crew did an excellent job and the course conditions 
were outstanding through 4 runs of SL on Saturday and Sunday's GS. Jackets and warmups were 
abandoned early by most, yet the race courses never got mushy or rutted. Hard to beat a beautiful 
weekend with fun racing!

It was a pleasure to have a number of new faces join us this weekend. We hope everyone had fun and 
comes back for more.

Complete results are posted on the Race Results page along with the new Season Standings rankings 
for 2014. Sunday's awards concluded with the annual Bernard Cup presentation, awarded to the top 
man and woman racer based on an age-handicapped scoring of the weekend's races. The 2014 Bernard 
Cup winners are defending champ Tim Stewart (M08) and Deb Lewis (W07).
