#3: Take some cool runnings
Utah hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, and you can witness all the winter venues the moguls and monster jumps at Deer Valley, the Slalom and Superpipe at Park City, even the Nordic 90-meter and the official Torch at Utah Olympic Park. For $200, you can ride the full track four-man Olympic Bobsled in 50 seconds. Be warned, it's "an aggressive, violent minute-long ride during which you will pull 5Gs and 80 mph." This ride is no amusement park thrill its more like being hurtled over the frozen falls of Niagara in a metal trash can.
