Location: 1375 Deer Valley Drive, Park City, Utah
Events: Alpine - men's and women's slalom; freestyle - men's and women's moguls and aerials. Complete schedule
Previous Olympic-type events: 1999 U.S. Skiing Championships; 2000 and 2001 World Cup freestyle events.
Briefly: Deer Valley was "tested" in February 2001 with a World Cup freestyle event. Resort and SLOC officials felt the event offered them insight into where problems might arise during the same Olympic events.
Chuck English, director of mountain operations, said the World Cup went extremely well and personnel learned a great deal from hosting the event, which drew thousands of fans. All athletes who placed among the top three finishers in the aerials and moguls were asked of their impressions of the venue, and all responded favorably.
