One pausing to watch the action will find it dizzying to see how fast these human motors can go. Pros will teach Nordic skiers of any level the art of classic or skate technique as well as the beauty of pairing the glide with target shooting in biathlon lessons. In summer, those many kilometers of tracks are smooth pavement and the biathlon lessons are still available for visitors on roller skis.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhile some winter programs are seasonal, Utah\u2019s Olympic venues continue to offer a range of Olympic and Paralympic-inspired experiences year-round.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation\u2019s Gabby Saunders.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>So, if this February inspired you to try your gliding and shooting skills, you don\u2019t need snow to make it happen at Soldier Hollow.<\/strong> Also, start planning your questions now for the Olympian or Paralympian you\u2019ll spend the day with at Deer Valley and pluck up your nerve for a knee-knocking ski on the actual Olympic downhill course at Snowbasin next winter.
