[Reposting due to some photo mistakes on the earlier attempt!] Congrats to the U.S. racers who traveled to Levi, Finland, for the FIS Masters Cup Finals! Four Eastern racers (all Mid-Atlantic members) were in contention for crystal gloves, and ended the weekend in the top 5 in their age classes: Mark (1st), Eric (1st), Connor (2nd), and Margaret (4th). Great skiing everyone!
Other top U.S. performances included Lisa Ballard (3rd in age group, 1st overall SG, 2nd overall GS, 2nd overall all women over 60), Rick Slabinski (1st overall SG), Pepi Neubauer (1st in age group), and Michaela West (6th in age group).
If you want to do some FMC races next year, check the U.S. Masters website for info! Finals is scheduled for Big Sky, MT, in April 2027.
