Sun Valley’s newest Olympian will take part in a Send-Off Party tonight at The Cellar Pub.
Snowboarder Chase Josey, will field “attaboys” from Sun Valley residents from 4 to 7 p.m. tonight—Thursday, Feb. 1—before he heads to the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. There he will don the U.S. Snowboard Team’s new high-tech uniform modeled after the 1960s NASA astronauts.
Josey, 22, grew up in Hailey and came up through the ranks of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. He is scheduled to compete in snowboard halfpipe competition on Monday, Feb. 12, and Tuesday, Feb. 13.
The Cellar Pub will have $2 beers and $5 chicken wings in honor of the occasion.
