Olympic Park

While we were in Midway, Diane took Alyssa and I up to see the Olympic Park in Park City. It was neat to see what it all looked like in person and without the snow. It's still used all year round for people training.

It was neat to see how they've accomodated it so that the ski jumpers can practice their tricks without the snow. The built a pool below the jumps so that they land in the water. They use air bubbles to cushion their landing so that they don't hit the water as hard.



Alyssa and I in a bobsled. When we got back to the condo, Cool Runnings was on tv! I love that movie! :o)










The view from the top of the ski jump, I didn't realize how high it was on TV.
