"Aspen has definitely made a step forward - said Calum Clark, vice president of the American Federation, USSA - under a'' good offer with a strong commitment aimed precisely to the alpine skiing events. Has been noted by the'' interested of many nations to seriously consider the offer'' of Colorado. " Sure, the location of Colorado no longer has hosted a men's race since 2001, a speed test since 2007 and would definitely need to update its security systems to organize a descent or a modern super-G. But, in general, would not be many changes to be made on the mountain that houses the slopes.
