2015 FIS WORLD ALPINE SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS:
The Vail Valley has officially thrown its hat back in the ring as Beaver Creek and Vail are the official U.S. Candidate Applicant for the 2015 FIS World Alpine Ski Championships. The Vail Valley played host to the 1989 and 1999 FIS World Championships and has been a part of the FIS Alpine World Cup since the circuit's inception in 1967.
The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Association and Beaver Creek/Vail submitted the candidacy application to the FIS by the May 1, 2009 preliminary deadline. The FIS has established an October 31 date for each candidate applicant to confirm its candidacy or step away from the bid process, once the terms of the Championships have been finalized.
In addition to Beaver Creek/Vail, other candidate applicants for the 2015 FIS World Alpine Ski Championships will include St. Moritz, Switzerland and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Both St. Moritz and Cortina were also candidates for the 2013 Championships.
The 2015 FIS World Alpine Ski Championships will be awarded on June 3, 2010 at the FIS Congress in Antalya, Turkey.
