We have just left the Summer Olympics behind us, and the showmanship and athletic prowess of those who participated can’t be ignored. From the almost super speed of the runners, to the powerful strokes of the swimmers, to the many other games that left the audience breathless, it was a magnificent display.

Now we have the Winter Olympics to look forward to, and those snow based events are even more beloved by the Park City community.

If your child has been dreaming of someday taking part in the Winter Olympics, there are some local places you should know about.
