Salt Lake City and nearby Park City, Utah hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics and winter sports buffs can still enjoy the thrills associated with those Games.
Skiers and snowboarders in particular will appreciate the benefits of staying at Westgate Park City Resort where they can find “the greatest snow on earth” as well as convenient ski in and out accommodations.

At the Utah Olympic Park you can watch or participate in Olympic-style events. The park hosts national and international competitions and training events including nordic jumping and the excitement of sliding sports like bobsled, luge and skeleton.
