The Devil's Slide

Devil's Slide is an unusual geological

formation located in northern Utah.

The slide consists of two parallel limestone

strata that have been tilted to lie vertical,

protruding 40 feet (12 m) out of the mountainside.

Intervening layers have eroded more quickly,

forming a channel some 25 feet (7.6 m)

wide running hundreds of feet down the mountain.

Cradled by the Wasatch Mountains, the 389-acre Utah Olympic Park venue is home to six Nordic Ski Jumps (K10, K20, K40, K64, K90, K120 meter), a 1,335-meter sliding track with five start areas, a freestyle aerials winter training and competition hill, a 750,000-gallon summer freestyle aerial training pool, the Joe Quinney Winter Sports Center, Alf Engen Ski Museum and Eccles 2002 Winter Olympic Games Museum.

The Utah Olympic Park is a winter sports venue built for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, and is located 28 miles east of Salt Lake City in Park City, Utah. During the 2002 games the park hosted bobsleigh, skeleton, Luge, Nordic ski jumping, and Nordic combined events. It still serves a training center for Olympic and development level athletes and is a popular destination for tourist.

Utah Olympic Park

In 2002, Utah hosted the world for the XIX Olympic Winter Games and the VIII Paralympic Winter Games. And by any measure, the 2002 Games were a success.

2500 Olympians representing 77 nations came to Utah to pursue their Olympic dreams. Incredible venues and ideal weather combined to create the perfect stage for the athletes to perform at their best.

The largest crowds ever for an Olympic Winter Games (a record that still holds today) filled the venues and cheered for every athlete, in every sport, from every country. And away from the venues, the partying and celebrating carried on well into the night.

The US Team won 34 medals at the 2002 Games, shattering their old record of 13. And athletes like Chris Klug, Derek Parra, Sarah Hughes, Jim Shea, Ole Einar Bjoerndalen and Vonetta Flowers all made history in their own special way, reminding the world of what the Olympic Games are really about -- sports.
