Visit to Olympic Park

Yesterday we visited the Olympic Park near Salt Lake City Utah where the winter Olympics were held. It was impressive and they are still very active in skiing competitions with World Cup Championships coming up soon. The photos are of a worker repairing ice up at the start of the jumping area. He was using slush ice and a trowel like we would use for cement. Everything has to be so precise. The second photo is of an athlete practicing a run on the luge. Amazing that I caught him just hoping on his sled. The other photo is of the sign that greets visitors to the park. Can anyone in Mr Schueller's geography class tell us when they held the Olympics in Utah? And what mountains would they be skiing in? Your answers would be appreciated! We really enjoyed their museums. I have an Olympic Park pencil for the first student to respond to these questions! Mrs. LaVoie
