Beaver Creek Hosts Another Fantastic FMC & Western Regional Championships
We had another great long weekend of racing at Beaver Creek, CO February 21-25 for the 2024 Denver Sports Lab FIS Masters Cup and Western Regional Championships! For the third year in a row, racers competing for FIS Masters Cup Globes and Western Regional Champion Jackets convened at Beaver Creek for the US stop on the FIS Masters Cup Tour. The event hosted 127 racers from 12 countries. The weather was fantastic - clear, sunny, and warm. The race hill was in great shape and the professional race crew at Beaver Creek always knocks it out of the park! Many thanks to the organizers and sponsors who made this event possible, and congratulations to all the competitors. Many USA and international racers continued on the Kimberley after the event for the 2024 FIS Masters World Criterium.
