Some members of the US Ski and Snowboard Team got their first glimpse of the Center of Excellence last July. The winter sport athletes were impressed with the center's facilities and features designed to help them in improving their skills.
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.
