Background:

Background: The Ukrainian government announced in 2006 that Ukraine’s popular Bukovel ski and snowboard resort is expanding to 262 acres (1.06 km2) in anticipation of Ukraine bidding to host the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. The additional land will be used for the construction of several new ski lifts and service projects. Previously, the land was a government-managed forest area. Bukovel has also plans to build an Olympic winter stadium in preparation for a possible bid.

The 2018 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXIII Olympic Winter Games, will be celebrated in 2018, and are an international winter sports athletic event that has yet to be organized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The organization, under the leadership of Jacques Rogge, is currently preparing to mount calls for cities to bid for hosting the event. The deadline for bids is January 2009.
