A little update on our friend and inspiration Mauro Sormani --

After winning at the Central Alps Italian Regional Championship in
Piani Di Bobbio on February 3, 2008, Mauro qualified a place at the
cross-country ski Masters World Championships (MWC) to be held Feb 28 -
March 6, 2008 in Idaho, USA!!. The races will be held near McCall, ID
roughly at the same latitude as Bozeman, north of Boise. Mauro will be
part of a 31-member Italian delegation, joining the hundreds of
Americans and large numbers of Russians and Norwegians.
