As a kid, everyone tried every sport and once middle school and highs school started it became limited to about two. And you probably played varsity in high school for both sports.

Adventure P.E. allowed kids to have the afternoons off to go skiing, as long as you logged your vertical feet and what lifts you took.

If Utah was competing as its own country in the Sochi Winter Olympics, it would be tied for 10th place in the overall medal count.
