The group seeking to host the 2034 Winter Olympics in Utah on Thursday submitted 5,000 pages of documentation to the International Olympic Committee covering the details of the plans to host the Games, a landmark step in the months before the event is likely to be awarded to Salt Lake City and the surrounding region.

The Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games spent two years developing the preferred host submission for the IOC. It is a wide-ranging document that outlines the blueprints for staging a Games. Some of the highlights include the concepts for the competition venues, the designs of the venues and the staffing plan for an eventual Olympic organizing committee.

The Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games said on Thursday components of the submission will be made public in segments over time, apparently starting at some point in March.

The details of the preferred host submission will likely be some of the most important information released by the Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games to date. The Park City area is crucial to the overall efforts to host a Games, and there are expected to be numerous references to the community in the submission. Park City Mountain, Deer Valley Resort and the Utah Olympic Park are identified as major competition venues in a second Games while the Park City area will have a key part in the transportation, security and celebration planning.

It is not clear how closely the Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games is following the blueprints for the 2002 Winter Olympics, when the Park City area also was key in the overall plans. It seems probable, though, there will be parallels at some level after the logistical success during the Games 22 years ago. The three Park City-area competition venues identified for a Games in 2034 also were used in the earlier Winter Olympics.

Fraser Bullock, the president and CEO of the Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games, said the submittal on Thursday was “such a monumental day.” Bullock also provided information about the upcoming bid process. The Future Host Commission of the IOC, which has influence on the selections of Games cities, is scheduled to visit the state from April 9 until April 13. More information about the itinerary is expected to be released as the dates approach, but Bullock said the IOC delegation will visit the proposed competition venues during the trip.

“We think we will blow them away,” Bullock said.

He said the full IOC may award the Winter Olympics of 2034 on July 24 in Paris, just before the opening of the Summer Olympics in the French capital. The July 24 date is notable since it marks Pioneer Day in Utah, a state holiday celebrating the arrival of the Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.

The preferred host submission transmitted to the IOC on Thursday involved Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games’ answers to 43 questions on topics such as goals for sustainability, the economics of the event, and the legacy of a second Games in the state. The Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games said the submission also included 32 annexes to the primary document that described plans for the Olympic sites and financials.

“We are confident our Preferred Host Submission will showcase Salt Lake City-Utah as a unique and impactful host for the Olympic and Paralympic Movements, as well as for our Utah communities and our nation,” Bullock said in a prepared statement.
