A recent approval by the Snyderville Planning Commission is allowing the Utah Olympic Park to take the next step in expanding training opportunities for ski athletes.
Approval was given in 2019 for the first stage of ski runs and lifts in the Park’s Mountain Expansion Program.
Colin Hilton, director of the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation, had the details about Phase II, approved unanimously by the Snyderville Planning Commission at their December 8th meeting.
“That is moving over to the what we call the West Peak, just to the right as you look at the bobsled track, looking uphill. This would create two runs from the top of the peak, and provide a full-length giant slalom training runs, as well as a slalom and moguls run.”

The Summit County Council this week paid tribute to departing colleague Kim Carson and also brought a new member onto the Snyderville Planning Commission.
Carson decided to retire this year, after two terms on the County Council. Council Member Glenn Wright said she leaves an amazing legacy.
“I think all of us really consider her the conscience of the Council incredibly diligent in her work ethic, keeping us on a track, in many senses being our moral compass in a lot of ways. I also spent a lot of time working with Kim on UAC. And UAC is a tough, tough venue for a Summit County Democrat, a liberal, and particularly a woman. And, boy, she held her own there and gained respect from the County Commissioners in the southern part of the state, and really helped advance Summit County issues with that body.”
