The Fall issue has all the news about the upcoming season, including the complete
season schedule and the Far West Masters membership package containing information
on the 2019-2020 program and membership options for new and renewing members.
Please get your Far West Masters membership in to Membership director Mary Feddis
by <span class="alert">Nov. 20</span> so she has time to process everyone's application
and ensure that our membership records and bib assignments are up-to-date for the
coming season. Membership renewals received after the deadline are subject to a $5 late fee.
</p><div class=""><i class="">(<b class="">Note:</b> late fees are only applicable to renewals.
New members may join anytime during the season without late fees!)</i> </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">REMINDER:</b> don't forget to renew your U.S. Ski & Snowboard masters membership!
Early renewal deadline is Oct. 15 and a $25 late fee will be charged for late membership renewals. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://my.ussa.org/membership/start" class="">https://my.ussa.org/membership/start</a></div><div class=""><b class=""><br class=""></b></div><div class=""><b class="">Tips on US Masters membership:</b> when you sign up for your US masters membership,
be sure to select the appropriate membership type. For most of us, that will be the
<b class="">Alpine Master</b> membership choice. Starting in 2020, there is an special new
membership type <b class="">Alpine Master (w/ requirements)</b> that is only needed by masters competitors
who are members of a US alpine club who work directly with junior athletes. You will
be instructed by your club if you need the special membership, which has an additional cost
and requires <b class="">SafeSport</b> training.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">See the "Getting Started" page on the US Alpine Masters web site for a very helpful
