President’s Message: November, 2025

By Rees Palermo

Welcome to the 2026 ski season filled with memories yet to be.

As I enter my 45th consecutive season of Masters racing, I have to ask myself why I do it? This seems to be the same question. I have asked myself for about 44 years now. With only two years interrupted by  injury, I consider myself lucky, and I consider ski racing a part of my life that is irreplaceable.  It is motivational.  Perhaps you can relate?

We all have our own reasons for doing it, and I congratulate you for being and staying involved with this challenging sport!

I look forward to seeing all of you out there on the hill and at our “after” parties. And, I encourage you to get a friend involved. We  always welcome new members!

Enjoy!
