2015 media manual

February 2-15, 2015

MEDIA MANUAL

Dear Ski Friends, Welcome to the Vail Valley for the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. The Media Operations staff hopes your visit to Vail and Beaver Creek for these Championships is both productive and enjoyable. For those of you that have not been here since 1999, we think you will discover a community that has changed dramatically over the past 16 years, especially considering the more than $2 billion that was invested in Vails New Dawn enhancement project at the start of the millennium. For those of you who have been annual Audi Birds of Prey World Cup guests, we still have some tricks up our sleeve that we hope will impress you, including the new Raptor Ladies speed course in Beaver Creek. This Media Manual will provide you with useful information relative to the overall 2015 World Championships schedule, venues and operation, as well as specific information regarding the operation and services of the Talons Media Center, Westin Media Center and Manor Vail Media Center. Should you have any questions during the Championships, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Media Operations staff. Once again, welcome to the Vail Valley. We truly hope that you will Dream, Live and Share the 2015 World Championships with us and the world.

2015 MEDIA ACCREDITATION AND OPERATIONS

All media accreditation distribution will be handled at the 2015 FIS Alpine World Championships Welcome Center, located in the Gondola Ballroom of the Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa in Avon. Media credentials WILL NOT be available for pick-up at the Talons Media Center, Westin Media Center or Manor Vail Media Center. Please wear your credential in a visible location at all times when moving about the venues.

All 2015 Media Centers are no-smoking venues and we ask that if you smoke, please do it outside and dispose of your cigarettes appropriately. In addition, we ask for your cooperation in properly disposing of all food and drink containers. Recycling receptacles will also be available.

The Organizing Committee has provided security for all World Championships facilities, including the Media Centers. However, the Organizing Committee will not be responsible for lost or stolen items. Please do not leave your equipment unattended.

Talons Media Center

The primary Media Center for all Beaver Creek races, this operation will be housed in the newly constructed Talons Restaurant, located adjacent to the Red Tail Stadium. The 18,000 square foot facility will serve as both media work room and media food service for the 12 days of training and competition at Beaver Creek.

The two-story restaurant will feature approximately 280 workstations. Press conferences will be conducted on the outside deck in a specially designed tent with seating for approximately 75 media. Press conferences will also be broadcast on the TV monitors within the workspace.

The Talons Media Center will be the primary workspace for journalists and photographers with a print deadline within a few hours of the conclusion of a race. We ask that media representatives who do not have impending print deadlines utilize the Westin Media Center in Avon, which will have free 5 up/5 down Wi-Fi as well as all results and other information about the Championships.

In all media centers, please be respectful of those on deadline by keeping your conversations at a low level; those who are disruptive will be asked to move to another location.

Food service will be available on the lower level of the restaurant and a special menu has been developed for the World Championships at a reduced cost. Each day will feature a different special at a cost of $17 inclusive.

The Talons Media Center will open on January 28, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will have the same hours through February 1. Beginning on February 2 and running through February 15, the Talons Media Center will be operational from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the exception of February 10 and 11. If there is no change to the competition schedule, Talons will operate from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on February 10 and

11. Those who have not completed their work by the time the Talons Media Center is due to close can resume their stories and transmissions at the Westin Media Center (see below).

Access to the Talons Media Center will be via media shuttles from Avon and Beaver Creek Village. You may also ski to the venue via Arrowhead/Bachelor Gulch/Strawberry Park/Larkspur Gulch (ask volunteers or hotel personnel for more specific details) or by hiking/snowshoeing on Trail 2015, which measures 2015 meters/1.3 miles.

Internet Access

The Talons Media Center will offer 2 up/2 down wireless access at no charge. Additionally, there will be wireless access in the Mixed Zone and for photographers, both on-course and at the photo platform. Cell service has been significantly expanded for most carriers.

Mixed Zone

The Mixed Zone is designed to maximize interviewing opportunities for the written press and non-rights holding radio entities. Video recording devices cannot be used to collect footage from the Mixed Zone without prior approval from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) for media outlets based outside the United States, or the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association for those within the U.S. Failure to comply can result in loss of credentials to the event.

Westin Media Center

Located in Avon, the Westin Media Center is the overflow workspace from Talons and Manor Vail as well as a morning/evening and open date work area. The Westin Media Center, located on the lower level of the Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa, features 3,000 square feet of space, with seating for approximately 160. It is located in the same complex as the 2015 FIS Alpine World Championships Accreditation Welcome Center.

The Westin Media Center will open on January 28 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. From February 2 through February 15, the Westin Media Center will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Wi-Fi will be available at no charge.

Located across the street from the Golden Peak Stadium in Vail, the Manor Vail Media Center will be operational for the Nations Team event and Mens Qualification races. The Manor Vail Media Center features nearly 3,400 square feet of space, with seating for approximately 150 people.

The Manor Vail Media Center will open February 10 for the Nations Team event and will be available on February 12 and 14 for the Mens Qualification races. For the Nations Team event, the Manor Vail Media Center will open at noon and close at 7 p.m., while on the two Qualification days, hours of operation will be 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wi-Fi will be available at no charge.

Photo Operations

Francis Bompard of Agence Zoom is serving as the Photo Chief for the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. The selection of photographers who will be granted on-course access will be made by the Photo Chief following FIS protocol along with input from the Chief of Media and Deputy Chief of Media. Per the FIS guidelines, no more than 40 photographers will be granted on-course access for any race and must be expert skiers with previous experience shooting alpine ski races. Photographers must follow any directives issued by the Photo Chief, which are designed for the safety of everyone on the course. Failure to comply may result in the revocation of the event credential.

For this event, no freelance photographers without assignment will be granted on-course access.

Media Course Inspection Passes

A limited number of course inspection passes will be available for each race; contact the FIS Race Director for the Ladies or Men to request a pass. Passes are distributed at the Team Captains meetings and anyone who requests a pass must be an expert skier capable of being on a course that has been prepared including water injection to meet the highest level of FIS requirements. It is the discretion of the FIS to award or reject a media inspection request.

Press Party

All credentialed media are invited to the Press Party at Dobson Arena in Vail on February 9 at 7:00 p.m. A ticket, which is included in the accreditation packet, is required for entry. We regret that no guests are allowed at this event. And please RSVP to the e-mail sent to you prior to your arrival.

SECURITY

Organizers of the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships are committed to providing a safe and

secure environment for everyone associated with the event and the general skiing public. Toward that

end, and partially as a result of incidents around the globe, an extensive security operational plan has

been developed specifically for the Championships.

Please wear your credential so that it is visible at all times when moving about the venues. Please note

there are no replacement credentials available at the venues. If you lose or forget your credential, you

will need to visit the Welcome Center to get a replacement; the cost will be $50 US unless proof of theft

is provided. Lost supplementary access devices (photo on-course access, lift passes and the like) will not

be replaced unless proof of theft is provided.

Bag checks will be conducted at various access points to the venues and during certain windows of time.

The venues include: Red Tail Stadium, Golden Peak Stadium and Championships Plaza at Solaris. Media

personnel will have an express lane to avoid any potential delays due to the checks, but please allow

sufficient time that includes passing through bag check when traveling to the venues. Not only is it

important to wear your credential to gain access to the Media Centers and other media-specific zones,

but also to board media direct transportation as well as to pass through express bag check lanes.

The Media Operations staff has provided security personnel with a tools of the trade list that will allow

media representatives to carry items that otherwise would be questioned or confiscated, which includes:

Multi-tool

Knives (maximum blade length is 3.5 inches/8.9cm)

Computer

Computer Accessories

Cameras Still and Video

Computer/Camera Cables

Wi-Fi Hotspot Devices and Cables

Batteries

Tape

Battery Chargers

Plug Adaptors

Camera Cleaning Items

Cigarette Lighter

Pelican cases with electronics

Fiber / Wires / Cables

Electronic Testing Equipment

Converter Boxes (Small Electronic Equipment)

Please remember that carrying certain items is illegal and therefore not exempt from confiscation. Those

include:

Firearms

Explosives

Narcotics

Drug Paraphernalia

While smoking marijuana is legal in Colorado as a whole, it is still illegal on lands owned by

the U.S. Government, which includes the Vail and Beaver Creek ski mountains as well as the

Talons Media Center (or any other on-mountain facility).

Glass Containers

Alcohol

Air Horns

Pepper Spray

Please also know there are open container laws in Colorado, which means you are not allowed to walk

down the street with an open alcoholic beverage unless you are within a special event area that has a

checkpoint to ensure you are of proper age (21). We recommend you carry some sort of valid

identification that includes your birthdate if attending any of the public social functions where alcohol

may be purchased. Laws pertaining to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs are strictly

enforced in Eagle County; event transportation will be available well beyond the race times so that you

may enjoy the festivities throughout the valley.

All personnel performing any of the security measures, including credential checks or bag checks, are

doing so to ensure your safety and will be following protocol that has involved many hours of discussion

and planning. Please be respectful of those individuals, many of whom are volunteers.

2015 TELEVISION COVERAGE

The television pictures that are beamed to the world throughout the two weeks of the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Vail and Beaver Creek will be provided by internationally recognized industry leader EUROVISION. The company will serve as the official Host Broadcaster of the Championships. Under the agreement with the Vail/Beaver Creek Organizing Committee, Eurovision Production Coordination (EPC), the European Broadcasting Unions (EBU) production company, has built an ambitious broadcast installation to provide an international signal in High Definition for all events for all rights holders. A team of 200 broadcast professionals will join EPC in establishing and manning more than 100 camera positions on Vail and Beaver Creek Mountains. The Host Broadcasting agreement completes a hat trick of open tender contracts the EBU has secured regarding the 2015 World Championships; it also holds separate agreements for the worldwide media rights along with the marketing rights. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the EBU is the world's foremost alliance of public service media organizations, with members in 56 countries in Europe and beyond. For the 2015 Championships, EPC will have 11 on-site rights holders, along with three TV studios, 22 commentator positions, seven announcer positions, 14 live TV mixed zone boxes and eight live radio mixed zone positions. These operations will be coordinated from the International Broadcast Center, a three-level building with 30,000 square feet of space, located just below the Red Tail Stadium in Beaver Creek. When fully occupied, the IBC will be home to approximately 500 broadcasters. Headed by Michael Koegler from ORF-TV, EPC will have 90 camera positions on the Raptor Ladies course and 80 positions on the Birds of Prey Mens course. Vails Golden Peak venue will feature a total of 27 camera positions for the Nations Team Event, while the Championships Plaza at Solaris will play host to eight camera positions for the Opening Ceremony and nightly medals presentations. EPCs coverage philosophy will reflect unbiased coverage of each athlete, while also creating a definitive storyline of the race through the use of innovative camera angles and technique. In addition, the desire is to integrate the beautiful landscape of Vail and Beaver Creek, along with the colorful atmosphere and crowds, all the while capturing the emotions of ski racing. In December 2013, The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association announced it had executed an agreement with the EBU, giving USSA the media rights to the 2015 and 2017 FIS Alpine and Nordic Ski World Championships, including the 2015 World Championships in Vail/Beaver Creek. Under this agreement, the USSA will manage rights distribution in the USA for major national networks, sports networks and other cable broadcasters, including exclusive multiplatform access in the USA of these showcase FIS events, with rights for television, radio, online and mobile platforms. The joint venture is the first time a National Ski Association has entered into a broadcast partnership at this level with a global rights holder like EUROVISION.

As a result, American ski racing fans will have unprecedented coverage of the 2015 World Ski Championships as USSA also negotiated an agreement with the NBC Sports Group, made up of NBC, NBC Sports Network and Universal Sports to become the domestic rights holders. The NBC Sports Group will combine for a record 25 hours of coverage, including 16 hours of live coverage. The broadcast group will provide live U.S. coverage of every event for the first time in history. The estimated worldwide audience for the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships is anticipated to be 750 million people in 70 nations. Detailed information on the U.S. broadcast schedule can be found on the 2015 website: http://vailbeavercreek2015.com/events-2/

THE CREATION OF RAPTOR

It began with a walk down Beaver Creek Mountain in September of 2007, turned into a squiggly line on

a topographic map, and later formalized and included in Beaver Creeks master plan expansion

documents. In July of 2012, the first shovel was put in the dirt and the construction process got

underway. Now, over seven years after that first exploraion, Raptor is ready for her World

Championships debut as Beaver Creeks new ladies speed course.

Raptor can trace its roots back to that September day when representatives of the FIS, Beaver Creek

Mountain and the Vail Valley Foundation bushwhacked their way down areas of the mountain in the

proximity of the existing Birds of Prey course. The line that would eventually become Raptor was not

one of the first two routes explored, but rather an afternoon hunch that would end up paying huge

dividends.

Mapping and flagging the proposed trail followed, not to mention frequent retooling and refining of the

proposed concept, both on and off the mountain. Finally, on July 2, 2012, construction on ski racings

newest crown jewel got underway.

We were very excited to get started building the new womens course, explained Ceil Folz, president of

the Vail Valley Foundation and head of the 2015 World Championships Organizing Committee. It was a

day weve looked forward to ever since a new speed course for the ladies became a part of our bid to

secure the Championships.

In addition to beginning construction on the new ladies course, Beaver Creek Mountain crews also

began the process of reconfiguring the Red Tail finish arena, work that included moving the existing

timing building to the east side of the finish area. The snowmaking system on the ladies course was

also installed.

The new ladies course starts on the Solitude run, following it past the top of Chair 9 before entering the

Peregrine through a new cut at the top of the trail. The course then follows upper Peregrine toward the

Golden Eagle pump house, entering the largest section of new trail cut, named Kestrel, below the pump

house between Golden Eagle and Peregrine. Rejoining Peregrine, the course then follows the run to Red

Tail, where it meets the Birds of Prey mens course at the Red Tail Jump and into the finish arena.

The first order of business was to connect the dots between the portions of the three existing ski runs

that made up the new course. The process entailed clearing approximately 22 acres of trees in two

primary cut locations, creating 17 new acres of skiable terrain for Beaver Creek, and installing 30 acres

of new snowmaking.

The truly exciting part of this new course for Beaver Creek is that we not only get a world-class

downhill for the worlds top competitors, offered Doug Lovell, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer

of Beaver Creek Resort, but our skiers have new terrain to experience. Its a win-win situation for

everyone.

But perhaps the most impressive feat of all was moving a two-story 130,000-pound timing building from

one side of the finish area to the other. One Kenworth tractor trailer cab, a pair of industrial strength

Caterpillar excavators, weeks of preparation and planning and a little luck did the trick.

Bill Davis and his team from Rocky Mountain Structural Movers of Parker, Colorado, welded a steel frame

to the building, lifted it from its foundation with hydraulic jacks, positioned two sets of eight wheels

underneath and drove the structure to its new location with a little pushing and pulling help from

the Cats.

Compared to that, the rest was easy. During the summer of 2013, crews worked on Phase II of the

ladies speed course construction, getting underway, seemingly as soon as the last snow melted from the

racecourse. They removed old television cable from the mens Birds of Prey course, in addition to

finishing electrical, telecommunications, fiber connections and safety installation on the ladies track.

The new Talons Restaurant was completed and serves as home to the print and photo media for annual

World Cup and the 2015 World Championships competitions. Finally, seven snowmaking compressors

were upgraded to allow for more production, while also realizing significant energy savings over the

existing system.

The official coming out party and test event for the Championships came over Thanksgiving week in

2013 as Beaver Creek played host to the worlds top racers for the inaugural Raptor World Cup

competitions. The races, which marked the womens first and only opportunity to race the new course

prior to the 2015 Championships, were dominated by Switzerlands Lara Gut, who captured both the

Downhill and Super-G wins. Swedens Jessica Lindell-Vikarby emerged victorious in Giant Slalom, while

American teen sensation Mikaela Shiffrin picked up her first career World Cup Giant Slalom podium,

finishing in the runner-up position.

BIRDS OF PREY: HISTORY

Beaver Creeks Birds of Prey racecourse was built during the summer of 1997 in preparation for the 1999

World Alpine Ski Championships. Designed by Olympic Downhill gold medalist Bernhard Russi of

Switzerland, Birds of Prey starts west of the top of Chair 8 and finishes at the bottom of Red Tail at the

confluence of Chairs 10 and 11.

The course features a vertical drop of 710 meters and contains an average gradient of 27 percent,

increasing to 45 percent in the middle of the course and again in the final third of the course.

The first competition on Birds of Prey took place December 2-6, 1997, with a pair of mens World Cup

Downhill races and a mens World Cup Super-G. The course was officially opened with a ceremonial

Native American blessing, performed by tribal elder Red Ute, along with a traditional ribbon cutting.

Germanys Stefan Krauss was the first racer down Birds of Prey in the opening day of Downhill training

and Italys Kristian Ghedina was the first race winner, capturing the opening Downhill on December 4,

with a time of 1:41.16. The remaining two races of the inaugural weekend of competition were won by

Austrians Andreas Schifferer (Downhill #2) and Hermann Maier (Super-G).

During the 1999 Championships, Birds of Prey was the site of the first ever World Championships gold

medal tie as Maier and Norways Lasse Kjus each mined gold for their Super-G efforts, with times that

were identical down to the thousandth of a second. Maiers Austrian teammate Hans Knauss finished

third, a mere one-hundredth of a second off the pace.

An estimated 20,000 spectators were on hand Feburary 6, 1999 to witness the World Championships

mens Downhill competition, the largest crowd in U.S. ski racing history. The race was won by Austrias

Hermann Maier, one of his record eight victories on Birds of Prey.

The fastest World Cup or World Championships Downhill race time ever recorded on Birds of Prey is

1:39.59, courtesy of the U.S. Ski Teams Daron Rahlves in December 2003. That win also ended a 19-

year American Downhill victory drought on U.S. soil, marking the first time since Bill Johnsons 1984

Downhill win in Aspen that an American male had stood on the top step of a World Cup Downhill podium

in the United States.

History was also made on Birds of Prey in 2004 with the one-two American Downhill finish of Bode Miller

and Rahlves. It was the first time U.S. men claimed the top two spots in a World Cup Downhill and the

first time since Phil and Steve Mahre captured gold and silver medals in slalom at the 1984 Olympics in

Sarajevo that Americans had gone one-two in any discipline. Rahlves and Miller swapped places a year

later at the Birds of Prey Downhill; collectively they had five one-two finishes as well as a tie for first at

the 2005 World Cup Finals Super-G in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.

The 2009 Birds of Prey made history as well as Switzerlands Carlo Janka captured all three races

contested in Beaver Creek. The feat marked the first time that a racer has been victorious in three

World Cup races in three consecutive days since the legendary Frenchman Jean-Claude Killy turned the

trick in 1967.

Jankas heroics also marked the first time since 1999 that one racer has won three Birds of Prey events

in the same year. That mark was set by Hermann Maier of Austria, who won the Giant Slalom, Downhill

and Super-G that winter.

The Americans earned back home turf bragging rights in 2011 when Bode Miller and Ted Ligety claimed

the top step of the podium in Downhill and Giant Slalom respectively, while Lindsey Vonn etched her

name in the history books with her Super-G win, becoming the first woman to win a race on the Birds of

Prey.

Ligety and Miller would deliver a one-two Giant Slalom punch in 2013, while Ted would record his fifth

consecutive win in the discipline in Beaver Creek during this past Decembers Audi Birds of Prey Mens

World Cup.
