As any of us who have had the pleasure to share a race hill or ski slope with him have learned, Gate de Mattei is a pretty special guy. He's a committed ski racer, always looking to improve and go fast, and just as committed to getting out on powder days and freesking, leaving companions decades younger in his wake as they try to keep up! And though retired from his medical practice, his trusty black bag and expertise have been a welcome aid many times over the years when accidents or injury strike and knowledgable advice is needed.
Now our admiration of Gate's continuing excellence is official: the 2019 Al Sise Outstanding Masters awards have been announced and the winners are: Jeannette Saylor (W08, Rocky) and... Gaetano de Mattei (M13, Far West)!! Congratulations to both Jeannette and Gate, who demonstrated that excellent racing is accomplished across the entire age spectrum of masters competition.

Gate continues to impress and inspire all of us, and after celebrating his 90th birthday in February at the Aspen FIS Masters event he is already looking forward to next season when he moves up to M14 class.
