November 27, 2003 – The Olympics may be nearly two years past, but the legacy and excitement of the Games is still front and center in Park City – and available for everyone to enjoy! This winter, Park City welcomes the world with four major competitions including three World Cup skiing events and the premier snowboard competition series, the Chevy Truck U.S Snowboard Grand Prix. All will be held on the 2002 Olympic venues. The opportunity to see the world's best athletes and enjoy the numerous festivities is simply too good to pass up!
“We are truly excited to host so many high-caliber competitions in our hometown, and we feel very fortunate to work with terrific venues such as Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort and the Utah Olympic Park,” said Annette Royle, vice president of Events for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team. “It's a terrific way for Utah residents and visitors to come out and relive the excitement of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games by cheering on the athletes as they aim for the 2006 Games and enjoying all the town has to offer – great food, an array of musical acts and incredible skiing or riding.”
