On Monday we visited Utah Olympic Park outside of Park City. This is where several events of the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics were held and now is a training center for athletes from around the world. Jim and I visited here in 2004 on an anniversary trip, and it was fun to go back and show the kids years later.
This was the most fun part, watching ski jumpers do their aerial flips and turns into the big pool.

This is an antique ski lift. No way would I get on such a thing. The modern ones scare me enough!
We took a tour on a little bus that took us to the top of the ski jumps and sled runs. This is the view of the ski jumps from the bottom.
And this is the view from the top! Eeeek!!
The gate to the one of the sled runs.
And the run. Eeeek again!

We had fun!
