| The Northwestern Ski Trip is once again the LARGEST
collegiate ski trip in the nation with 622 NU students! This year
we're headed to Park City.
Known for its world-renowned skiing and legendary dry
powder, Park City
Mountain Resort is the heart of the Park City ski experience and the
world's choice for 2002. Open since 1963, Park City Mountain Resort will
host the snowboarding and giant slalom events during the 2002 Winter Olympics.
With a 3100 foot vertical and 3300 acres, Park City
has an extensive terrain for any level of skier. The resort is broken
down into three different skill levels with 18% designated for beginners,
44% for intermediate skiers, and 38% for experienced skiers. For
the extreme skiers the mountain includes 750 acres of wide open, snowcapped
bowls.
Park City is rated as one of the best ski towns in
America according to several ski magazines. In Park City the day
is hardly over when the sun goes down as a multitude of restaurants and
bars light up the city.
We'll be staying slopeside at The
Lodge and Shadow Ridge
condominiums, both within a mile of downtown Park City. |
