Utah is the best state in the nation when it comes to winter adventures. In fact, we have one of just two bobsled tracks in the entire country that are open to the public. If you’re looking for a wild ride this winter, hop on this 4,379-foot ice slide at the Utah Olympic Park.

The Utah Olympic Park was built to host the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, and it still serves as a training ground for Olympic athletes, year-round.

You don't have to be an Olympic athlete to have fun at this park. You can visit the museum, ride the extreme zipline, challenge yourself on the Discovery, Canyon, or Summit courses...or hop on a bobsled for the most thrilling ride of your life.

That's right - you can take a ride down the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games Sliding Track. It's one of just four such tracks in the country, and one of just two that are open to the public.

The bobsled experience isn't cheap - you'll pay $195 per person to ride. Consider it a bucket list item. While it's obviously not the kind of thing most people will do several times every winter, it's worth saving up for this adventure.
