The U.S. is tired of being the world’s doormat for snow sports not involving a board of some kind. This week the United States Ski and Snowboard Association broke ground on a new $22.5 million facility that’s expected to open in 2009 and be the “world’s most advanced and comprehensive training center for snow sports.”
The complex will be called the “Center of Excellence”, and it will house a strength training area, a gym, a climbing wall, ski and snowboard ramps, trampolines, and a sports sciences center that can do physical testing and video analysis. Despite heavy lobbying from Bodie Miller, the facility will not include a 24 hour bar.
