Makes all the sense in the world. Helluva lot smarter than Reno or Denver. Most of the infrastructure is already there.

Yup, Snowbasin Grizzly Downhill (February 10th 2002).
Snowbasin was the venue for the Men's & Women's DH, SG & Combined events. It was awesome!

The skiing events were all at Snowbasin and Deer Creek correct?

Yes it was awesome. The basic course was groomed from top to bottom earlier this week (except the sidehill into Hollywood which was still skiable and it was clear from the number of tracks that a number of people were doing it). Good memories.

Alpine events.
Deer Valley hosted the regular Slalom & Park City was the GS venue.

I didn't know about Park City hosting the GS. That's interesting.

Season Opening WC races (SL & GS) were at Park City for many years till early 2000,s when it got unreliable for early snow.
