Venue tours gave way to the formal meeting portion of the initial 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships Coordination Commission gathering in Beaver Creek Thursday as members of the International Ski Federation, European Broadcasting Union, Tridem Sports, U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association and Vail Valley organizers outlined and discussed the proposed event management structure that will help guide the preparation and planning for the Championships over the next four and a half years.
The morning dialogue covered a great deal of ground, including major milestones, facilities, Organizing Committee structure, sports organization, media services, broadcasting and the FIS Transfer of Knowledge program between organizers.
Some major decisions on the horizon include the dates of the 2015 Championships, which should be finalized by November of this year, as well as the naming of the Organizing Committee, which is slated for early December. Organizers will continue to work closely with the EBU regarding the designation of the host broadcaster for the event.
While the initial Coordination Commission meetings come to a close on Friday, Vail/Beaver Creek 2015 organizers will participate in the final inspection for the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany later this month, while also traveling to the FIS Fall Meetings in Zurich, Switzerland to present a status report to the Alpine Committee.
The FIS Fall Meetings will also include a World Championships Organizer’s Symposium for key members of the 2011 (Garmisch), 2013 (Schladming, Austria) and 2015 organizing committees.
