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 />

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 />

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.
