    Utah Olympic Park & the Alf Engen Ski MuseumSkiing & Winter SportsAnchor

    The 2002 Winter Games left Park City the best public ski museum in the country and a set of venues that never went quiet. Watch the national team throw itself off the ninety- and one-twenty-metre jumps into a swimming pool, ride a bobsled down the real Olympic track with a professional driver, and walk the Alf Engen Ski Museum, which is free and tells the story of skiing in the Wasatch — the snow here is the reason any of this is in Utah.

    A silver-mining boomtown that ran out of silver and found something better under the same mountains. The Victorian main street climbs away from the base of the lifts; Sundance takes the whole town over every January.
