Olympics Put Utah Skiing 'on the Map'
By Deb HartleyDec 11, 2009
As the Vancouver Olympics approach this winter, many people are reflecting on past Winter Olympics such as the 2002 Salt Lake games. A recent Associated Press article highlighted the effects that the Olympics had on the Utah ski industry. Here are some of the articles key "Utah Talking Points":
- "Traffic on the slopes was up by 37 percent in the 6 years after the Olympics."
- "Utah skiing is now a $1 billion industry."
- "Off the slopes, this season's biggest improvement is a new set of state liquor laws."
- "The Canyons, a rival to Snowbasin in development, was once the smallest Park City resort, now bills itself Utah's largest ski area."
- "Utah always had the best snow, a secret the Olympics spilled far and wide. Major skiing magazines started to consistently rate Utah's resorts the best."
- "For the 3rd straight year, Deer Valley Resort has been named the #1 North American ski resort by a leading magazine, SKI."
- "For snow alone, Alta-Snowbird ranked #1, as it almost always does in major surveys."
