I woke up this morning thinking of one of my first action items 13 years ago as the Executive Director was to drive to Flagstaff and meet with JR Murray,GM of the Snowbowl, and board member Rick Smith, regarding having skiing as the initial sport of the proposed "Winter Games"! I believe we had 80 participants!
Last year we had 6,148 athletes and we've exploded to 42 sports this year!
Thanks JR!

The Grand Canyon State Games is a multi-sport Olympic Festival providing a showcase for the talents and aspirations for Arizona and America's youth regardless of age or ability and to share many of the great attributes of our state. In fact we have had a 3 year old come down the mountain in our Winter skiing event and a 99 year old gentleman throw the javelin in our Track & Field event. We truly have something for everyone.
