SLC 2034 Winter Olympics

[BobMc]

I still regularly see people wearing the volunteer coats from the 2002 Olympics.

They’re getting harder to spot, but it wouldn’t be a ski season without seeing someone out with one of those on.

Yeah, it makes so much sense I'm shocked. They've seemed immune to public opinion and the dwindling number of suckers -- er, cities -- interested in hosting for so long. Is the IOC finally pulling their heads out of their asses?

not until the bribery stops

[Buzzworthy]

There’s a gaggle of grey haired guys in Bountiful that all have them. I have seen em several times last winter in Costco having pizza together. Must be a thing for them. They are always happy and smiling together so I hope they are stoked too.

Maggot party at Schindler's house!!!

We will be there.

It's starting to look like we will be in Los Angeles for 2028, two Olympics by age 12 for the kiddo.

Reason 1200 to kick myself in the ass for not pulling the trigger on the cheap Cottonwood Heights condo in 2011 [emoji1751]

(meant to quote zzz on the 2002 coats)..

the steezy park rats on the hill think they are cool as hell. Also the the grandmas and grandpas. it's a nice mix.

I assume moguls will be at DV on Champion again?

Which, in my opinion, is the most badass bump course on the planet. Perfect slope, long, steep, natural amphitheater viewing... I'm going to really try to get to this one.

Maybe SLC can put it's best foot forward and we can have a good old fashioned throat burning inversion that gets cleared out towards the end with one of the new fangled mud rain events. And I figure by 2034 rain to the top of the DH course at Snowbasin will be a 50/50 chance, same with PC/DV events.

How about a “super soaker” event?

[plugboots]

^^^ I think that’s happening right now at the opening ceremonies in Paris
Also, can’t find a Paris Olympic thread…
If anybody’s watching, it was pretty fucking cool to see LeBron and Coco in the rain at the head of the boat with the flag.

Yeah homeless people downtown. I think you can probably find em at the sugar house DI too.

I had press credentials for 02, and a PC parking pass. Olympics was tons of fun! Let's go USA hockey! Love Olympic hockey!

Pretty sure it was an unused bib. Hopefully Fritz kept his.

Not quite but those social security checks will sure be nice.

You’re an optimist I see.

Respect my authoritah!!

[Woodsy]

makes me wonder what other good stuff SLC will get from this. A train or tram up LCC? Liquor Laws on par with Indiana? An even bigger airport? A mystery box? Who knows what could come of this?

Airport has been expanded to enormo size, Liquor Laws & increased public transport were 2 big wins leading to and coming from 02

LCC cant be justified to touch, but Knowing how much is going on @ DV and PC and that BCC is insanely close I wouldnt be surprised if they find a way/need to improve transportation ( Gondola, rail, paved Guardsman) to incorporate the resorts and bed base in BCC especially now that Solitude is part of Deer Valley.

Shit I did a reception at the lodge @ Deer Valley nearest the pass when we hosted Ski Tops summer @ Solitude not long after the 02 games and got people over and back on the sketchy road.

Dont want to hate on this but 02 was so off the charts fun living downtown and being super involved, this may be a fun visit with the then 20 yo boy but....
