Initial 2015 World Championships Coordination Commission Meetings Open With Venue Inspections And TV Meetings


While Vail and Beaver Creek’s June 3 victory in the race to host the 2015 FIS World Alpine Ski Championships is still a fresh memory, the actual road to 2015 began today as key members of the International Ski Federation (FIS), European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and Tridem Sports pay their initial visit to the Vail Valley September 8-10 for the opening World Championships Coordination Commission meeting.

Representing the FIS on the visit will be Secretary General Sarah Lewis, Communications Manager Riikka Rakic and Event and Sponsor Manager Marcel Looze. The EBU will be represented by Ingolfur Hannesson, head of Winter and Indoor Sports, along with Christian Pirzer, CEO of Tridem Sports.

The three-day Coordination Commission gathering will include tours of proposed venues along with meetings to discuss a wide range of topics relating to the planning and preparations for the 2015 World Championships.

Vail and Beaver Creek will play host to annual visits from the Coordination Commission, while also sending delegations to additional events and meetings for reporting and study purposes.
