1996 World Alpine Skiing ChampionshipsEcosign was responsible for the overall master plan for the re-development of the Sierra Nevada resort in 1990 for the FIS World Alpine Skiing Championships held in 1996. The resort area master plan included design of the ski area improvements and competition venues and a new village center on top of a 4 level parking garage with a capacity for 3,000 cars as well as renovation of the existing urban areas.
