Copper Mountain, Colorado next Winter Gravity Games host?

October 1, 2004

The Winter Gravity Games, often announced, and seldom held, are reported to be heading to Copper Mountain, Colorado.

NBC sold the rights to the games to the Outdoor Life Network earlier this year. NBC only held the games on one occasion, in Mammoth Mountain, California in 2000.

Copper Mountain and the Outdoor Life Network are involved in negotiations, but have not yet confirmed the revival of the games.
