FIS Masters Racers Training at Catedral in Bariloche, Argentina - September 2024

Every summer, many of the Alpine National teams get back on snow to start their season in the Southern hemisphere. Masters also get their on snow training started AND kick off the FIS Masters Cup race season in the Southern hemisphere! The 2024 South American FIS Masters Cup event was held at Catedral Alta Patagonia in Bariloche, Argentina.

To make the most of the long trip, for many years, former USSA Alpine Masters Manager, Bill Skinner, ran a camp prior to the South American races. The camp was open to USA racers and their international competitors with a FIS Masters license. Even at the FIS level, spending time on and off the snow with your competitors is a key component of the Masters experience. When Bill retired, Lisa Ballard eagerly took up the charge to continue the tradition of the South American race camp. Big thanks to Lisa for her work to make the camp available for the Masters community!

For 2024, the camp included 6 days of training before 3 days of competition. The schedule was maximized to include 6 races over the 3 days of competition. As always, mother nature had a say and after 8 days of great training and racing, the SL and AC were cancelled on the last day due to 100km winds. Check out the South American Masters Camp Bariloche 2024 Recap Video and mark your calendars for early September next summer! It's sure to be a trip you won't forget!
