Dear Editor: Hosting the 2002 Winter Olympic Games isa tremendous opportunity for the great state of Utah to finally receive some international attention. This is our chance to shine before a world audience and we \ must be prepared. The Snow-basin Land Exchange is one of the most important preparations that needs to be made. Snowbasin is the site of the six most high profile alpine skiing events: the Men and Women's Downhill, Combined Downhill, and both Super G events. These exciting events will bring world class athletes, large crowds, and extensive media coverage; all of which will need improved facilities. The Sun _ Valley Company, which owns Snowbasin, has been working closely with the U.S. Forest Service to facilitate an ejual value land exchange that will open more land at the base of the mountain for development in exchange for high priority private land that the oublic can enjoy. This exchange is not only necessary for the Olympic Games, but a world class ski resort just thirty minutes from downtown Ogden will bring benefits for generations. In addition, the land | gained by the Forest Service will Plena: excellent ‘conservation and recreation opportunities. The exact acreage and language of the exchange legislation is a ieee of nearly ten years of close negotiation and study by the Forest Service and the Sun Valley Company. These two groups have done _everything necessary to ensure that the natural resources of the area will be protected and that the exchange is an equal compromise. Both sides support the exchange and now they only await the administrative action necessary to begin the process. cae must facilitate this exchange if there are to be downhill events at the 2002 Winter Games. It will take at least three full summer seasons to construct the planned facilities. With international pre-Olympic events already planned for 1998, there is a definite time crunch. It is important to complete this land exchange as soon as possible if Snowbasin is to be ready for these pre-Olympic events. _ There will be an estimated 3 billion viewers from around the world watching the 2002 Winter Games and we can put on a great show. The Snowbasin land exchange is vital to our effort and we need to oe started now if we are to be ready for this once in a Lets opportunity.
