[FWM News] Happy New Year! 2019 major event reminders

[Far West Masters news]

Happy New Year!  Hopefully everyone is enjoying holiday time with family and friends. We had a very 
good opening event at Mammmoth just before the Christmas break - the weather was varied but race 
conditions were excellent and Mammoth Race Department put on an outstanding opening event for us, 
with two GS races and two SL races on the Andy's Double Gold race hill.

The holiday break is a good time to plan ahead for the racing schedule in the coming months.  This 
season we have two major masters events located in the Western region.

On Feb. 8-10 the international FIS Masters Cup series makes its North American stop at Aspen with 
SL, GS, and two SG races. This event is also the Western Region Championships. And to make the 
travel worthwhile, Rocky Masters are hosting two DH races immediately following the FIS masters 
races on Mon-Tue Feb. 11-12.
