Gate de Mattei wrapped up his competition season traveling to Les Menuires FRA for the FIS Masters finals in April and returned home with a coveted crystal globe as he took top honors in the Men's 85-80 overall standings. Fantastic performance from a great competitor who is an inspiration to all of us that competitive excellence can be pursued at any age. The annual Al Sise Masters Skier of the Year awards were announced at the May USSA Congress awards banquet and Far West's Mihai Filimon was honored along with Northern Division's Lisa Densmore Ballard. Congratulations to Mihai on a great season and a phenomenal performance at the Big Sky National Champships! The 2017 Spyder National Masters team has also been announced, based on results from the national championships. Four Far West competitors were named to the team: Mihai Filimon (M4), Pierre Jeangirard (M8), Deb Lewis (W8), and Carol Levine (W9).
