Groups and Events

OVERVIEW

Since the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, Soldier Hollow (SOHO) has hosted thousands of groups and events ranging from major international sporting events and corporate retreats to youth summer camps and music festivals.

It is primarily known as a Winter Olympics venue and has been developed to be an active, year-round recreation facility.  The venue has excellent infrastructure, land, and water features and can easily host groups in excess of 10,000 people, with little to no scaling.
