"We're thrilled to bring the World Cup to Telluride," said Telluride Ski & Golf CEO Dave Riley. "Following the great success last season with the U.S. team training, we're ready to have the national and international snowboard communities focused on Telluride in the run-up to the Olympics. Our entire destination has come together to make this event happen, and we look forward to becoming a regular stop on the World Cup tour."
"It's very exciting to be able to bring an event of this scale to a resort as great as Telluride, where the enthusiasm and drive to make this World Cup a success is so strong," said USSA vice president of events Calum Clark.
