Dear Masters Welcome to the 31st year of the British Masters FMC, which we are delighted to be once again holding in Châtel, France. This year s dates are 1st to 3rd February 2019. As you are probably aware the British Masters Ski Club will be hosting and organising the event from this Season onwards. Our 3 day race programme will again include a challenging Super G on Friday, a two run Slalom on Saturday and the single run GS on Sunday. The race hill team in Châtel are looking forward to preparing the dedicated La Linga race slope and it should be in pristine condition for our Masters races. The early snow reports are favourable and the snow cannons are producing a great base. We will update you on piste conditions as we get nearer to the event. All that remains is for us to say have an excellent festive season wherever you are, keep training, book your hotel in Châtel now and we look forward to seeing you in 2019. With our best wishes, Nigel Greenfield Chairman of Organising Committee Richard Ellis Chief of Race British Masters FMC - Châtel 2019 Page 2! of! 7
