Upcoming events The pre-Olympic test events in the Salt Lake area are winding down for this winter season, but a big one for four Idaho athletes is this weekend in Park City. The Countdown to Gold World Cup is the final chance for the top snowboarders in the world to compete on the Olympic course before the 2002 Games.
