PARK CITY, Utah — When local Park City, Heber, Kamas, and even Salt Lake skiers wanted a place to race this winter, they went to the Utah Olympic Park and competed in the Town Series.
Park City Ski and Snowboard hosted the evening time alpine racing individual and team events, as well as skimo uphill individual events for members of the greater community.
The series was the place where people could meet up with all their friends and make some new friends for some friendly competition.

Additionally, there's been National Geographic, Patagonia, NCAA, USA Nordic and the United States Library of Congress, so I guess you could say this ain't my first rodeo.
