Vail Valley prepares for 2015 championships Five years isn't that much time when talking about preparations for the World Alpine Ski Championships — town leaders in Avon are already thinking about how the town will put on its Sunday best for the event. When the announcement came in June that Vail and Beaver Creek would host the 2015 championships for the third time, Vail Resorts announced that plans were also in the works to upgrade the Birds of Prey downhill course by increasing the finish area for the men's events and building a new Red Tail Camp restaurant. Vail Resorts also announced it would build a new women's speed course at Beaver Creek that would “rival the men's course,” and would serve as the combined events and nation's team event during the 2015 Championships. The projects need Forest Service approvals, and Beaver Creek spokeswoman Jen Brown said Vail Resorts has not yet submitted any 2015 projects to the Forest Service. “It's simply too early for specifics at this time,” Brown said. The Vail Valley Foundation, the organization that will host the Championships, is already playing host to the International Ski Federation, the governing body of the World Championships, and the European Broadcasting Union this December. “We're already into it in a fairly substantial way three months after the vote,” said Vail Valley Foundation spokesman John Dakin.

CU skier Spencer Nelson perishes in accident
University of Colorado ski team member Spencer Nelson died in a hiking accident Saturday (Aug. 14) near Aspen. He was 20. At approximately 10:25 am Saturday, after Nelson and his group of seven others including his father, Peter, had already summited one of the 14,000-foot Maroon Peaks, he was struck in the head by a dislodged rock. He fell into the Bell Chords couloir, according to Alex Burchetta, spokesman for the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office. Maroon Bells is a popular hiking destination in the White River National Forest just south of Aspen. According to Burchetta, officials received a call shortly after 11 am and by 11:45 members of Mountain Rescue Aspen, the Aspen Volunteer Fire Department, the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office, the U.S. Forest Service and Flight for Life had begun a rescue attempt. Two off-duty mountain rescue volunteers, one of which was a paramedic and registered nurse, were hiking nearby and reached Nelson, staying until rescue crews arrived. Helicopter rescue could not reach the Bell Chords couloir, which is estimated about 13,000 feet, and dropped a rescue team above the area. He was pronounced dead at the scene and recovery operations were suspended at dusk to resume Sunday, according to Burchetta. "This is a terrible tragedy," CU ski coach Richard Rokos said. "For everybody involved - parents, friends, his team, coaches, anybody who had ever met him - it's a terrible waste of life, talent and ambition." He finished his freshman campaign at CU with nine top 20 performances and finished 21st in the giant slalom and 23rd in the slalom at NCAA Championships, helping the team to a second-place finish. He was honored with the Lucie Hanusova Memorial Award, which is given for those who overcome adversity and challenges with smiles and enthusiasm. After the season, he was honored by Colorado Ski Country USA in its Double Diamond Awards as male all-star athlete of the year. Nelson graduated from Middle Park High School in Granby, Colo., in 2008 and lists Winter Park as his home town. There he played soccer and also lettered in track&field, competing in the 100- and 200-meter dashes. He skied for the Winter Park Competition Center from 1997-09 and was a member of the Colorado All-Star team from 2007-10, was named to the regional team in 2009-10 and was a Rocky Mountain Division National Team member in 2009. Born March 16, 1990 in Denver, Nelson is survived by his parents, Peter Nelson and Peggy Smith, both CU alumni, and a brother, Connor, 18. His father works for CU in facilities management and is the lead architect on CU's remodel of the ski team building, underway this summer and fall. He was majoring in finance and marketing at Colorado.
Bode Ready to charge! Bode Miller (32) wants to continue charging in the coming season. The American who had left the world about the continuation of his career in doubt already last year, announced to want to start 2010/2011 in all disciplines. After several months of time off and participating in a qualifying tournament for the U.S. Tennis Open, Miller reported from the American Traning camp in New Zealand. "Anyone who knows me knows that I need change and like to question things. So I've taken a few months time to get away from skiing and to question my perspectives," commented the veteran his decision. The two-times overall World Cup champion and three times Olympic medalist of the Games in Vancouver also announced next season's objectives: Winning the World Cup in downhill and slalom as well as breaking the records of Hermann Maier and Ingemar Stenmark with 13 season wins. via: www.fisalpine.com
