The group was guided by US Ski and Snowboard Association President and CEO Bill Marolt as they checked the 85,000-square-foot infrastructure.

The Center of Excellence is expected to be completed on March 2009. Upon its completion, the facility will provide winter sport athletes a state-of-the art training area that includes aerials and snowboard ramps and tramps section, a gymnasium, recovery room, cardio center, nutrition center, equipment and research areas, and sports medicine facilities.
