We would need a location with the infrastructure to host a World Cup. Oh wait a minute we have all that from the 1980 Winter Olympics and the 5 World Cup Events Whiteface does each winter. Just a matter of time.Ska Todd, I like your explanation about why UCI World Cups won't be held in the states. Kinda figured it was due to liabilty and not having enough funds...mountain biking just isn't big here like it is in Europe. I can't say for sure, but the US should look into Whiteface Mtn. to hold a WorldCup. I'm sure there are plenty of other mountains out west that are better, but since the World Cups already go to Mount Saint Anne/Bromont, Whiteface wouldn't be that long of haul for the teams. Then again, Whiteface is the only "real" mountain i've ever ridden DH, besides Diablo. So in the end, i'm biased, but I would love to see a World Cup come to America, hopefully within the next 10 years.
