Posted: October 1, 2019

Over the first couple weeks of September, 26 USA racers traveled to Nevados de Chillan for the reboot of the Chile camp led by Lisa Ballard and the CHI/BRA FIS Masters Cup event.

The weather kept everyone on their toes, but they managed to get in several days of great training,  four days of races, and some bonus time at local thermal hot springs on the tough weather days!

The 2019 Summer Fun Nationals July 12-14, 2019 was a great way to wrap up the season (we were skiing on last year's snow), to start the new season (the U.S. Ski & Snowboard membership season starts May 1st), and to get outside for some skiing in July! Almost 100 racers ventured up to the Palmer Glacier on Mt. Hood for the 31st Annual Summer Fun Nationals. The Scroggins' family welcomed us again for the registration party on Friday and the traditions continued with barbecue dinner on Saturday and pool party on Sunday. Meri Stratton led the the charge coordinating the event, the volunteers, and the trailer full of equipment needed for a "pop-up" race on a glacier where no race infrastructure exists. 

Smiles were abundant with great weather, courses, and camaraderie. The view from the top is the first award earned by all before the race even starts. Competitors ranged in age from 7 to 81 years with 10 families in the running for the Eigenvector Fastest Family Award. Awards are earned within age class for most competitors and the top 10 men of the A/B race each day are pulled from their age classes to compete in a Super Seed. Don't be fooled into thinking the young guns dominate the Super Seed as there was a 45 year age range among the group!

Full results are below and will be up soon on summerfunnationals.com

All 2019 Major Event Results

***NATIONALS RESULTS PDF***

The U.S­­­­. Ski & Snowboard Alpine Masters had quite the week at the 2019 National Championships in Mammoth Mountain, CA. Masters racers participated in all 4 events, DH, SG, GS, and SL through all types of winter weather. Racers ranged in age from to 20 to 90 and came from all across North America. The weather, which was sunny and clear to start the week, later brought challenges via avalanche closures, wind, snow, and low visibility forcing scheduled adjustments and the cancellation of 2 of the 7 races. Not to be dismayed, racers made the most of the experience getting out for powder turns and spending the extra time catching up with friends over coffees and beers. 

On the final night we surprised Bill Skinner with a retirement gift from contributions from Masters racers across the county. Thank you for all the enthusiasm and effort you brought to masters racing and for keeping us all racing for the last 20 years! We look forward to many more years racing with you!

It was an action packed 5 days of racing at Aspen Highlands, CO! With races in all 4 disciplines over the weekend, there were ample opportunities to challenge and hang out with your fellow competitors! We had 10 different countries represented: United States, Canada, Chile, Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Germany, France, and Japan! 

On Saturday, February 9th we had an extra special celebration for Gaetano Demattei's 90th birthday! 7 of his 8 kids were present -- we shared stories from the past as well as heard about Gate's big plans for the next year - ski racing of course! Gate's infectious love for ski racing and life was felt by all - we thank you for sharing your 90th with us!

EASTERN REGION CHAMPIONS

The 2019 Eastern Region Championships in Stratton, VT saw some tough weather and the cancellation of the SG. Not to be deterred, the Eastern Region Masters racers along with several visiting from the Canada Masters were able to throw down some great competition in the GS and SL to crown the 2019 Eastern Region Champions! 

WESTERN REGION CHAMPIONS

The 2019 Western Region Championships were part of the FIS Masters Cup event in Aspen Highlands. Racers were scored on results from 4 events: SL, GS, and 2SG. The race days had typical CO bluebird weather and many had to take off for long flights and drives home before the final results were ready.
