 Ski jumper with a successful
landing by karenincalifornia
It could not have been a better day for this event. We had clear blue sky, and it was not as cold as the day before at the Women's Moguls event.
For the Men's Ski Jumping, we did not buy seats in the stands, but stood in the spectator section at the bottom of the jump. That is the way to view this event - we would have been too far away had we been in the stands. Leave a Comment Address: The Canyons, Utah

 Men's 90 meter Ski Jump, 2002
Winter Olympics by karenincalifornia
The venue for this event was The Canyons, near Park City. Times have changed. When I was in college, this was Park West and was known as a cheap favorite of the locals. We used to come up on the weekends and ski here for $11 a day, or we would be assigned some volunteer job and ski for free.
Now the resort has been upgraded and expanded, a gondola and high speed chairs have been added, and a European-like town with a pricey lodge has been built at the bottom of the lifts. Leave a Comment
