Viva Italia Cup

The Viva Italia Cup is sponsored by John Gianotti each year at the Heavenly Valley SL weekend. The coveted Viva Italia Cup is awarded to the top man and women racer in the overall standings of the Saturday race, using an age handicapping formula which knocks off a percentage of the racer's time as their age class increases. Racers of all ages have won under this formula over the years and the special trophy and a great post-race party make this event a highlight of the race season.

The 2006 Vivia Italia winners are Deb Lewis (W50) and Bill Skinner (M50). We would also like to thank the many contributors who provided auction items for the scholarship fund raffle.

Bernard Cup

The Bernard Cup is sponsored by Bob Bernard each year at the Squaw Valley race weekend. Bob played a key role in growth of masters ski racing in the 1980's and 1990's and created the "Bernard Cup" age handicapping system to provide a way to recognize outstanding skiing across the entire wide spectrum of masters age classes.

The Bernard Cup, awarded to the top man and women racer in the overall standings of the race weekend, is one of the most challenging races on our Far West calendar and has been won by outstanding racers of all ages. Click here for complete history of Bernard Cup winners.

The 2006 Bernard Cup winners are Linda Crowell (W50), and Toni Praxmarer (M60), who were challenged by the courses and the weather as well as the other competitors on their way to defending their 2005 titles.

McKinney Cup

The McKinney Cup is sponsored by Tamara McKinney in memory of members of her family, Steve, McLane, and Frances McKinney. The McKinney family started out skiing in Far West at Mt. Rose and became one of the most memorable ski racing families ever, higlighted by the success of Tamara and her World Cup accomplishments. The McKinney Cup is a perpetual trophy on display over the mantle of the fireplace in the Mt. Rose lodge.

As with the traditional Mt. Rose Sliver Dollar Derby which it succeeds, the McKinney Cup is awarded to the man and woman racer with the fastest total time, for the entire weekend. Click here for complete history of McKinney Cup and Silver Dollar winners.

The 2006 McKinney Cup winners are Danielle Palermo (W30), who held off a fast-charging Cory Ritchie in the final run of the weekend, and Dan Gallaher (M20), who captured his first title with a sweep of the men's results for the weekend.
