Hosted by Park City Ski and Snowboard Club, some out of town athletes stayed at the Utah Olympic Park Residences and after the competition, just like every summer Saturday evening at the UOP, a choreographed freestyle aerial show was put on for hundreds of spectators.

I've lived in Park City for 30 years but right off the starting line, my journalism professors expressed plaudits after class for writing more so about the small-town sports in the surrounding mountains than the urban updates they assigned. Therefore, I’m on par punning and penning Parkites' pastimes. Turning high and early through my career, I’ve worked communications for The Olympics, the Paralympics and the Special Olympics. 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.
