Xterra Winter Worlds in Ogden

The inaugural XTERRA Winter World Championship, a weekend-long, winter sports festival is set for March 8-9, 2008 at Snowbasin Resort, with evening activities being held in Ogden, Utah.

The main event is a unique XTERRA multisport race combining the four disciplines of cross-country skiing, mountain biking, running and snowshoeing. Other featured events for the weekend include an XTERRA Snowshoe competition, XTERRA Dash-for-Cash snowboarding event, and activities geared towards children.

“The vision and partnership of the Utah Sports Commission, TEAM Unlimited, and Snowbasin guarantees a successful event for our community and one that will round out our foundation’s year of activities,” said Kym Buttscharedt, president of GOAL’s board of directors.

The GOAL Foundation is a non-profit group of community leaders, business owners, former Olympic planners and volunteers all dedicated to attracting and promoting sporting events locally, nationally and internationally. The vision is to enhance the greater Ogden area’s quality of life through connecting and funding programs, events, and activities relating to recreation, sports, art and education.
