Try a new sport - check out Utah Winter Games

If you plan on making a trip to Park City in the winter and you are an adventurous soul (and if you are reading this you probably are!).  Check out www. utahwintergames.org.  The Utah Winter Games are a legacy of the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics.  It provides an opportunity to try sports you may never again have access to.
I grew up in Detroit and I certainly never had the chance to learn how to skeleton.  But in Park City, I did!
Last year, I took the Learn to Skeleton clinic.  It was great.  There were 8 people in our class and our average age was probably 45.  We had a great time.  The instructors give you about 45 minutes of instruction and then it was time to go.  And go you do!!  We started from the Junior start, but the run was still about a minute long and we hit 60 mph!  We each were able to go 4 runs.  It was the best $35 I ever spent!
