NEW BIBS:
We noticed that some of our
older bibs were getting a bit raggy. So, we purchased
a new set of bibs - numbers 1 - 150. If you want
to replace your old bib. write a check for $15.00 to PNSA
Masters and provide the number of your bib and your
address. Send it to: Richard Zimmerman 4921 N
Scenic View Tacoma, WA 98407. You'll get your new bib
in the mail.

ENTRY FEES:
Fees for 2009 season: They will
remain the same; SL
& GS $25 per day; SG $35 per day. The PNSA
Championships, the Western Regionals, and the US National

fees are based on their cost structure.

FIS MASTERS
EQUIPMENT RULE CHANGE: After a lot of lobbying by
USSA, FIS Masters has changed its equipment rules to
the following:
1. The present specifications for
the length and radius of skis are changed to be
recommendations. Exceptions: the ski length in
super G may not be less that 185 cm (men) and 180 cm
(ladies).
2. Rules concerning the maximum height
of ski/plates are recommended. The heights are reduced
as follows:
Maximum distance
from bottom to boot sole: 50 mm.
Maximum for boot
sole to base of foot: 45 mm.
The key word is
recommended.
