Mt Holly Club gets the Gold

Gold Medalist Ted Ligety to Direct Mt. Holly Club Skiing OperationsPosted on : Wed, 28 Feb 2007 13:05:00 GMT Author : Mt. Holly ClubNews Category : PressReleaseMT. HOLLY, Utah, Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Mt. Holly Club, the world's finest private luxury ski and golf resort, today announced that Ted Ligety, Olympic gold medal skier and World Cup champion, will serve as the club's director of skiing operations. Ligety will oversee growth of this unique ski-in/ski-out private resort -- the mirror image of the golf-in/golf-out capability members enjoy in the summer playing the prestigious Jack Nicklaus Golf Club golf course."In creating the world's premier ski and golf club resort, we needed a premier, world-class skier directing our skiing operations," said Stephen Jenson, owner and partner of Mt Holly Club. "Ted Ligety is precisely the right person. We couldn't be happier."No stranger to Utah powder, Park City native Ted Ligety strapped on his first pair of skis at age two and was racing by the time he was 11. Through hard work and bone-chilling speed, Ligety earned a spot on the U.S. Ski Team in 2005, and won an Olympic gold medal the following year in Turin, Italy in the combined event. It was the first gold medal for an American skier since Tommy Moe in 1994. In 2006 Ligety won the national titles in slalom and combined at the U.S. National Championships, repeating the feat he accomplished in 2005. He is currently skiing on the world cup circuit."Even with all the skiing opportunities I have around the world, I can't wait to get back to Utah to the greatest snow on earth -- and some of the greatest terrain as well," said Ligety. "Working to create a one-of-a-kind resort like this is an exciting prospect. We have gleaned ideas from many of the best ski resorts globally and implemented them in a way that will make this area rival the top luxury resorts worldwide, adding ski-in/ski-out access to your own private resort."The Mt. Holly Club ski area will become a centerpiece of the innovative ski-in/ski-out, golf-in/golf out design that sets Mt. Holly Club apart from all other luxury resorts in the world. Many of the 1,200 luxury home sites are arranged to provide literal back yard access to the ski slopes. In summer, members' ski-in/ski-out homes become "on the course" golf-in/golf-out backdoors to some of the finest golfing in the world on the club's prestigious Jack Nicklaus Club golf course -- one of only 25 in the world."Working with Ted on the design and operation of this resort has been an exciting experience," said Jenson. "Like everything else at Mt. Holly Club, the elements of terrain, flow, challenge, convenience, and beauty have all come together in a way that is superbly world-class."About Mt.
