PARK CITY, Utah — The second annual Young Athletes Ski Day at Woodward Park City was a success, with 28 students from five elementary schools coming together to participate in this fun day on the slopes.

The participants were a mix of Special Olympics of Utah (SOUT) athletes and Unified partners, creating an inclusive sports experience for all.

Many students had never skied or snowboarded, so the event was particularly exciting for them. “They were thrilled to introduce them to these winter sports and provide them with a new and thrilling experience,” said a statement from SOUT.

The event provided a unique opportunity for young athletes to come together, try something new, and have a great time in a safe and inclusive environment.
