According to a recent article in the Park Record, the Utah Olympic Park located in Park City just finished its strongest winter on record. Between increased marketing efforts, the 10-year anniversary of the Utah Olympics and the Summer Olympics gearing up in London, the nonprofit has seen numbers stay strong throughout this past winter season.

“We did not have a slow moment up here this winter,” said Lindsey Wolff, the communications coordinator for the Utah Olympic Park. “We expected a lull after Christmas or after President's Day weekend, but we were consistently busy this winter season. The lull never came.”

Overall, visitor numbers were up from the year before, and a handful of weeks were booked solid with back-to-back sessions for the bobsled rides. The Utah Olympic Park saw a 20 percent increase on tours, a 20 percent increase in group events and a 60 percent increase in bobsled and skeleton rides.
