The Far West Masters is an organization of volunteers.
Our race calendar and race operations depend on the efforts
of many people who contribute time and energy to putting
together a schedule of challenging and enjoyable races each season.
This page lists the Far West members who contribute to our program
by their efforts at each race weekend.
Race Crews
When you arrive at the area for a Far West Masters race,
the race checkin and registration is staffed by fellow racers who have volunteered
their time. Elizabeth Kennedy is our Head Race Coordinator and responsible for
ensuring that we have a coordinator at each event and that all the necessary
procedures and administrative forms are available.
On the hill during the race, the officials are also
fellow Far West racers who have volunteered their time to help ensure that our
competitions are safe and fair. At each race, we provide a Technical Delegate (TD)
and a Referee who together with the Chief of Course from the organizing area
comprise the race jury. Rees Palermo is the Head Official and works
diligently each year to ensure that we have licensed officials who are qualified
to work our races.
