Positive trends for FIS Masters Racing
The Masters Racing season in 2012/13 again saw steady progression. With a total of 855 FIS Masters Cup participants in Alpine Skiing, the winter brought about a significant increase of 12.4 per cent. The number of 241 entries also underlined the lively interest in Masters racing activities.

38 events featured on the competition schedule and the season can be considered to have been a good one. Despite a low number of sunny days and sometimes soft snow conditions, all Organisers provided course preparation and maintenance of the highest international standards. A few races had to be cancelled due to safety considerations, while all Organisers could deliver at least 50 per cent of their planned activities.

For the next season, the Alpine Masters calendar is again fully loaded with another 38 Masters Cup Races including the 2014 FIS World Criterium Masters in Goestling (AUT).

On the Cross-Country Masters side, the 2013 FIS Masters World Cup was staged in Asiago (ITA) from 14th-23rd February. The event has seen continuously high participation and this year’s close to 1’200 participants from a total of 26 countries equates to the third largest starting field, which has ever participated in a Cross-Country Masters World Cup.

Meanwhile, the Organising Committee of St Ulrich (AUT) is already looking forward to welcoming the world’s elite for the 2014 FIS Cross-Country Masters World Cup next year.
