I'd like to see Russia get it, skiing will be moving east over the next thirty years. It will give them a reason to develop new facilities and showcase what they have to offer.

On the other hand Ipswich may get it, they'll have the biggest snowdome in Europe by then!

KevinC I think the moon will definitely be in with a shout in 2018, they don't have the infrastructure there yet for the downhill and the big air would be, well, err big.

That does sound logical. However for 2018 I'm hoping it's Salzburg!
