Utah Olympic Park

All rates are for the 2005 - 2006 winter season.

Utah Olympic Park was a competition venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games for Nordic jumping and the sliding sports of bobsleigh, luge and skeleton. The nearly 400-acre Park features a mixture of sporting facilities and visitor areas for an incredible Olympic experience. The state-of-the-art park hosted more than 300,000 visitors and 14 Olympic medal events in February 2002. The Utah Olympic Park now serves as a year-round competition and training ground for recreational and high-performance athletes. Construction on the facility started in 1990 with the development of the infrastructure, the 750,000 gallon freestyle training pool and the ski jumps as part of phase I. The sliding track was included in the second phase and started in the spring of 1994. The first athlete to go down the track was on a luge on January 10, 1997.

Today, the public can watch athletes in training, visit the Alf Engen Ski History Museum and the George Eccles Tokyo 2002 Olympic Winter Games Museum, race down the track in a bobsled, or learn how to steer your own skeleton or luge sled by taking an Intro camp. The Park is owned by a non-profit organization, the Utah Athletic Foundation which is responsible for keeping the Park and the Utah Olympic Oval operating for use by future athletes, world champions and the general public.
