Park City to host 2011 FIS Freestyle ski event!

This is the type of fun we all live for here in Park City. We get to watch greatness and history in the making.

The world’s most prestigious freeski athletic competition outside of the Olympics will be held at Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain Resort February 2 – 5, 2011, when the FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships comes to town.







•Park City Mountain Resort will host competitions in slopestyle and halfpipe.


•Deer Valley Resort will host competitions in moguls, dual moguls, aerials and ski cross.






The slopestyle competition was recently added to the event line up following an announcement giving support for 2014 Winter Games inclusion by the International Olympic Committee in September (Slopestyle skiing, halfpipe skiing and slopestyle snowboarding are all being considered for the 2014 Winter Games).

In November, the FIS voted to add slopestyle skiing and slopestyle snowboarding to the respective World Championship events. The final approval by the International Olympic Committee for skiing events to be added to the 2014 Winter Games will come following a review of the World Championship events held this February at Park City Mountain Resort.

Hyatt comes to The Canyons in Park City

I was hanging at Maxwell's a few weeks ago with a client after an afternoon of house hunting. We ran into her loan officer and a group of friends eating and drinking at the bar. Turns out I was introduced to the new General Manager of the Hyatt property here in Park City. Claudia hails from Germany originally and most recently the Hyatt property in Maui. I hope she will like it here. She said she has already purchased some snow boots to replace her open toe shoes.

Rumor has it the Hyatt is vying for another property at the Canyons before the ski season is through.....
