A crowd of over 100 museum friends and supporters, including members of the press, gathered on November 19 to celebrate the Grand Opening of three new exhbits at the museum.  The unique, state-of-the-art virtual ski jump was enjoyed by many of the guests who were able to experience the thrill of jumping down the 120K hill at Utah Olympic Park.  The new Hometown Heroes exhibit, featuring five Park City Olympic athletes and their accomplishments and memorablia, was a big hit, as was the Fashion Through the Ages exhibit, featuring ski outfits from 1968 – 1998, donated by Barbara Alley Simon.  To read more about this event, please click on the following link:
