Fall 2016 engineering and schedule update
As you have seen, planning and fundraising continue to move forward here at Copper Peak! We have the support of the International Ski Federation and have received input from some of the brightest, most experienced hill designers and engineers in the world.
Due to a variety of factors, including fundraising efforts, weather and engineering needs, we currently plan to begin hosting events – like the FIS Summer Grand Prix – starting in 2018-19.
October 2016 saw some last minute engineering work before winter arrives: Coleman Engineering, Barr Engineering and Veit Construction performed continued excavation and soil testing on the middle of the steep slope to determine soil and bedrock characteristics that will help determine the final design of the landing hill technology.
If you or your company is interested in joining the Founders Circle of Champions – a select group of leading individuals, businesses, foundations, and organizations that share this exciting vision – please contact Bob Jacquart at bob@copperpeak.com.
UPDATE: Competition to start in October of 2019
