“As the former Chairman and CEO of  Vail Resorts for a decade, I have a longstanding connection to winter sports. And over the course of my life, I personally have attended five different Olympiads, and in one way or another helped the Olympic movement prepare for four more,” Aron said in a statement.

“I have experienced firsthand how meaningful it is for the world to come together for the Olympic Games. Therefore, I am delighted to support the USA Bobsled/Skeleton Foundation as it helps world-class athletes represent the United States at the Olympics, the greatest world stage of them all.”
