Today I want to talk to about Copper Peak, skiing and international competition. But I want you to know that what we are really talking about is economic development. Tourism, skiing, international competition are all wonderful things. But we see so much more. We see this as a powerful opportunity to use our unique tourism assets to attract talent to our region, keep the home grown talent in our high schools, colleges and universities and ultimately to spur business investment that the UP needs if we want to create a stronger economy.
