Something Fun!
When I went on my Girls' Weekend a couple of months ago, we not only stayed up late gabbing, went shopping, ate a bunch of junk food, and played games, but we also went to Park City and checked out the Olympic Venues.
We rode the Zip Line down the mountain, after the ski lift took us up. It was exhilerating! I would do it again in a heartbeat! Lots of fun!!
Me in front of the Ski Jump pool.When we were there, they had some time trials going on for Professional Ski Jumping. This is at their facility in Park City. They actually practice going down these slopes during the warm months since there is no snow in the warm months.
It was actually quite fun to watch. They do all sorts of twists and acrobatics before they fall cleanly and perfectly into the water. They have bleachers that you can sit on and see the whole thing. We were on our way to the Zip line so we didn't stay for more than a few minutes, but I could have stayed and watched for a long time. It was fascinating! Much better to be there in person, rather than just watching on tv.

THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME. But I love this kind of stuff. When the Olympics were in SLC we got to go to the Mens Super G(downhill ski racing) event. It was cool, I will never forget that experience. I think the ski jumps are so wild and crazy. Thanks for sharing!
Sniff... I'm still sad I didn't get to go to this... I'll get over it, eventually!
Bummer, I wish I had gone! I don't think I even knew people went until they were already gone. And I think I slept through the shopping trip, too. The zip line is way too scary for me, but I would love to see the ski jumpers.
How fun, everytime Ken and I go back to Utah we always say we want to do that but never have gotton the chance yet. Glad you had a fun time- Girls weekends are so much fun.
Look like a very fun Girl Getaway!

I worked as a publicist/event planner in SLC and that was one of my favorite venue to throw bashes!
