I can truthfully say that<br />

the words “<strong>Vail</strong>/<strong>Beaver</strong><br />

<strong>Creek</strong>” may have never<br />

sounded so sweet as<br />

they did on June 3 in<br />

Antalya, Turkey as FIS President Gian-<br />

Franco Kasper made the announcement of<br />

the host site for the <strong>2015</strong> World Alpine Ski<br />

Championships.<br />

While our victory certainly marked the<br />

end of an extremely long and often arduous<br />

road, it also represents a new beginning,<br />

not only for the <strong>Vail</strong> Valley Foundation,<br />

but for the <strong>Vail</strong> Valley community. It is a<br />

tremendous opportunity for all of us to<br />

refocus on something incredibly positive:<br />

getting ready to welcome the world to our<br />

homes once again in a short five years.<br />

The <strong>Vail</strong> Valley that the world will return<br />

to is vastly different, better, than the one<br />

they met in 1999. Our community has, in<br />

every way, invested in itself these last few<br />

years and those investments will pay off in<br />

the long run, not just for those who visit us<br />

for the Championships in <strong>2015</strong>, but for all of<br />

our guests and residents leading up to that<br />

period. We should be so happy that we live in<br />

a community that understands that to be the<br />

best, you must always be moving forward.<br />

In many respects, this philosophy is<br />

also what guides the <strong>Vail</strong> Valley Foundation<br />

each day. We are not just about making our<br />

events and programs the best they possibly<br />

can be, we are about making our valley the<br />

best place it can be.<br />

This attitude is clearly displayed in<br />

our ever growing education initiatives,<br />

including our two pilot projects, Sowing<br />

Seeds and First Notes. It’s evident in our<br />

recent improvements made to the Gerald<br />

R. Ford Amphitheater and it’s evident in the<br />

breadth and quality of our annual Dance<br />

Festival.<br />

The <strong>Vail</strong> Valley Foundation truly mirrors<br />

this community in the desire to never sit<br />

back and rest on our laurels.<br />

President’s<br />

<strong>Message</strong><br />

<strong>Vail</strong> Valley Foundation President Ceil Folz and <strong>Vail</strong> Resorts Mountain Division Co-President John<br />

Garnsey react to the announcement that <strong>Beaver</strong> <strong>Creek</strong>/<strong>Vail</strong> has been awarded the <strong>2015</strong> World Alpine<br />

Ski Championships. Photo by Tom Kelly<br />

<strong>Beaver</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> <strong>Vail</strong> <strong>2015</strong> <strong>Comes</strong> <strong>Up</strong> A <strong>Winner</strong><br />

Take the word “Candidate” out of the logo,<br />

<strong>Beaver</strong> <strong>Creek</strong>/<strong>Vail</strong> is the host of the <strong>2015</strong> FIS<br />

World Alpine Ski Championships!!!<br />

The third time was indeed the charm<br />

for the <strong>Vail</strong> Valley when FIS President Gian-<br />

Franco Kasper announced to a crowd of 1,000<br />

Congress delegates in Antalya, Turkey June 3<br />

that <strong>Vail</strong> and <strong>Beaver</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> would host their<br />

third World Championships.<br />

Going into the vote announcement,<br />

most anticipated that the voting would be<br />

extremely close as Cortina, Italy seemed<br />

to have gained considerable momentum in<br />

the closing days. However, when the vote<br />

tally was revealed, <strong>Beaver</strong> <strong>Creek</strong>/<strong>Vail</strong> was<br />

victorious on the first ballot, garnering the<br />

necessary 8 votes, while Cortina recorded 4<br />

and St. Moritz, Switzerland 3.<br />

The announcement set off a raucous<br />

celebration within the 18-member <strong>Beaver</strong><br />

<strong>Creek</strong>/<strong>Vail</strong> delegation, with tears of joy<br />

flowing freely as a wave of emotion washed<br />

over the entire group.<br />

“We are absolutely thrilled to be able<br />

to represent the United States and the <strong>Vail</strong><br />

Valley through this victory,” explained Ceil<br />

Folz, president of the <strong>Vail</strong> Valley Foundation.<br />

“We knew from the outset that we had our<br />

work cut out for us with three world class<br />

candidates and only one <strong>2015</strong> Alpine World<br />

Championships. We congratulate St. Moritz<br />

and Cortina on their campaigns and it was<br />

truly an honor to be considered along with<br />

these great resorts. We can’t wait to get home<br />

and share this with our community.”<br />

A sincere thank you goes out to all of<br />

the people that worked so hard on this bid,<br />

as well as all people who supported and<br />

believed that we could bring this home.<br />

IFSC World Cup Bouldering Champion, Daniel Woods<br />

Large crowds gather to watch the IFSC World Cup<br />

Bouldering Championships<br />

Renowned Cellist Yo-Yo Ma To Help Celebrate<br />

<strong>Vail</strong> Valley Arts Education<br />

When the <strong>Vail</strong> Valley’s school children first became involved in a number of arts education<br />

opportunities, they could have never imagined that they would someday share the stage with<br />

one of the world’s foremost classical performers.<br />

That dream will come true on Saturday, June 26, as the Bravo! <strong>Vail</strong> Valley Music Festival and<br />

the <strong>Vail</strong> Valley Foundation have enlisted the help of none other than world renowned cellist<br />

Yo-Yo Ma to help celebrate the arts with the children of the First Notes, Celebrate the Beat<br />

and Bravo! Young Composers programs at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in <strong>Vail</strong>. Dubbed<br />

“Imagination Celebration: Adventures in the Arts”, the free festivities are scheduled to run<br />

from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.<br />

Imagination Celebration will feature individual performances by third through fifth graders<br />

of Celebrate the Beat, the second grade First Notes orchestra and Bravo! Young Composers<br />

Ben West and Jeremiah Johnston.<br />

Yo-Yo Ma and Bravo! Artistic Director Eugenia Zukerman are slated to accompany West and<br />

Johnston on their original piece, while Mr. Ma will team with local pianist Katherine Bellino<br />

for a number before joining <strong>Vail</strong> International Dance Festival director Damian Woetzel and<br />

the Celebrate the Beat dancers for the finale.<br />

2010 Teva Mountain Games Highlights<br />

Stand <strong>Up</strong> Paddling Debut and<br />

U.S. World Cup Climbing Win<br />

The big island of Hawaii came to the <strong>Vail</strong><br />

Valley and the U.S. climbed to the top step of<br />

the World Cup bouldering podium as the 2010<br />

Teva Mountain Games took <strong>Vail</strong> by storm<br />

June 3-6.<br />

Record crowds combined with a record<br />

number of participants to celebrate the<br />

nation’s largest celebration of adventure<br />

sports, lifestyle and music as top professional<br />

and amateur athletes from around the globe<br />

descended on <strong>Vail</strong>’s mountains and rivers.<br />

River and ocean lifestyles melded for the<br />

first time at the Teva Mountain Games as the<br />

sport of Stand <strong>Up</strong> Paddling made its debut on<br />

Gore <strong>Creek</strong> in the Eddie Bauer/First Ascent<br />

SUP Surf Sprint, presented by C4 Waterman.<br />

Top honors in the inaugural event went to<br />

16-year-old rising SUP star Noa Ginella from<br />

the north shore of Oahu who had never<br />

paddled in whitewater, let alone ever been<br />

to Colorado prior to his arrival for the Teva<br />

Mountain Games.<br />

En route to the win, the teen bested the<br />

two leading whitewater paddlers, Dan Gavere<br />

and Charlie MacArthur. Also in the SUP field<br />

was U.S. Ski Team downhiller Steven Nyman,<br />

who finished in 11th position.<br />

American Daniel Woods made all the right<br />

moves on Saturday, recording two tops and<br />

two very near completions, to earn the men’s<br />

gold medal at the IFSC Bouldering World<br />

Cup Bouldering competition, presented<br />

by Pyramide. Woods, who finished in the<br />

runner-up spot at the Teva Mountain Games<br />

a year ago, bested Japan’s Tsukuru Hori and<br />

Austria’s Kilian Fischhuber for the victory,<br />

bringing the large and enthusiastic crowd to<br />

its feet when he held the dyno on problem 4<br />

and very nearly hit the finishing jug.<br />

The environmentally-friendly Teva Mountain<br />

Games marked the second year that the<br />

<strong>Vail</strong> Valley Foundation has served as organizational<br />

hosts to approximately 3,000 outdoor<br />

athletes, along with an estimated 40,000 spectators<br />

in the <strong>Vail</strong> Valley’s kickoff to summer.<br />

The 2010 competition featured eight sports<br />

and 24 individual disciplines. In addition to<br />

Stand <strong>Up</strong> Paddling and World Cup Bouldering,<br />

sports include kayaking, rafting, mountain<br />

biking, road cycling, amateur climbing, fly<br />

fishing, trail running and a half marathon.<br />

Additional events include the Outdoor<br />

Reels film series, the Mountain Click photo<br />

competition, the Gear Town interactive expo<br />

area, the DockDog canine competitions, the<br />

Mountains of Music free concerts and the<br />

Teva Blackout Party.<br />

of the International Evenings of Dance on<br />

August 6 and 7, featuring New York City<br />

Ballet star, Wendy Whelan. The new ballet<br />

will be set to music by Luigi Boccherini, and<br />

Whelan’s costume will be designed by Tony<br />

Ivey Long.<br />

Other “firsts” will include the world<br />

and Gabriel Missé’s new show Romper el<br />

Piso; the Festival’s first Artist-in-Residence,<br />

acclaimed choreographer and dancer Larry<br />

Keigwin, who will premiere a new work<br />

Larry Keigwin<br />

who will present a stunning repertoire of<br />

contemporary dance, along with a world<br />

VVF’s Sowing Seeds<br />

Program “Sprouts”<br />

New Pilot Program<br />

When the <strong>Vail</strong> Valley Foundation launched<br />

its new Sowing Seeds program at Brush<br />

<strong>Creek</strong> Elementary School in Eagle in the<br />

fall, there was no telling what would grow,<br />

both literally and figuratively. Ten months<br />

A young gardener from Brush <strong>Creek</strong><br />

Elementary School tends to her plants.<br />

Photo by John Dakin<br />

later, the program has taken root and has<br />

already “sprouted” a new initiative.<br />

Following a May visit to the Sowing<br />

Seeds greenhouse, located behind the<br />

school, the Eagle County Schools Director<br />

of Nutritional Services, Ray Edel, decided<br />

that Brush <strong>Creek</strong> would serve as a pilot<br />

site for a “Food From Scratch” cafeteria<br />

program. Essentially, this means that no<br />

food served to students in the cafeteria<br />

may be processed and that a vegetable and<br />

fruit bar will be added to the daily menu.<br />

“This is tremendous news,” explained<br />

Jean McSpadden, <strong>Vail</strong> Valley Foundation<br />

Director of Education. “Not only is<br />

Sowing Seeds connecting children with<br />

their environment and helping them<br />

make smart food choices, but it is now<br />

beginning to have the ‘big picture’ impact<br />

that we had hoped for.”<br />

Vegetables grown in the Sowing Seeds<br />

greenhouse are already being integrated<br />

into the Brush <strong>Creek</strong> cafeteria and<br />

students are saving their lunch scraps<br />

to add to the composting stations in the<br />

greenhouse.<br />

Created in conjunction with Chef Kelly<br />

Liken of Restaurant Kelly Liken, the pilot<br />

program involves a greenhouse project<br />

where students not only plant and care<br />

for their own gardens, but also actually<br />

sell their produce at local farmer’s<br />

markets during the summer.
