The Utah Olympic Park was able to partner with the Park City Community Foundation's Solomon Fund with the Park’s Kickers & Gliders program, a cross-country ski class for kids. The partnership was able to drop participation fees by 90%, giving students that qualify for Free or Reduced lunch an opportunity to participate. The group met at the White Pine nordic track near Hotel Park City Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 9th to participate. (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)
