A new ski training facility may be small compared to most ski hills, but it has the kind of steep terrain advanced alpine and freestyle skiers need in an Olympic-caliber hill.
PARK CITY — In order to make one of his dreams come true, Jeremy Mathers knows it is going to take hard work.However, no one ever said becoming an Olympian was simple. A new ski hill in Park City, though, just might make it a little easier.
Mathers is a skier for the University of Utah Ski Team. Wednesday morning, he was part of a first run for the brand-new facility designed to make skiers better. It was also made to help create Olympians for Team USA. "It's projects like this that make me feel not only how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place, but how great it is to work and collaborate with so many great people," Colin Hilton, president of the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation, said during the grand opening. "You are all family and that is what sets Utah apart from so many other places in the world. This sense of collaboration is a hallmark for Utah and how we get things done. People call it the Utah way.
