Calum Clark, U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association Vice President Events
It’s absolutely amazing what this organizing committee has been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time. Standing on its own, this women’s slope would be one of the best in the world with every element of modern downhill. It’s a perfect complement to the men's Birds of Prey course and will carry every bit of the same reputation.
Ceil Folz, President of the Vail Valley Foundation and 2015 Alpine World Ski Championships Organizing Committee
It’s exciting to watch the course take shape. Knowing that we are well on our way to having yet another world class racecourse in our own backyard is a real testament to the dedication and commitment of Vail Resorts and our entire community.
Atle Skaardal, FIS Women's Alpine Chief Race Director
There has been great work done and it is very accurate. Now we only have little things to tweak and small solutions to figure out. This course has everything in it and I know that it will be a great racecourse. I also know that the ladies are going to be very excited to race here.
