Cross-country ski areas are doing their best to adapt, but they lack the same tools available in the far bigger downhill skiing industry.

From Salt Lake City to St. George, communities statewide experienced their warmest winter on record. Snowpack, air quality and ski shops all took a hit.

Vonn says she sustained a "complex tibia fracture that is currently stable but will require multiple surgeries to fix properly” after her devastating crash in the Olympic downhill.

David Chappellet, a fictional downhill racer played by Robert Redford in the 1969 film "Downhill Racer," continues to inspire skiers. The movie remains a badge of honor for American downhillers, embodying their spirit and underdog role in a European-centric sport.

Vonn’s big comeback from retirement was jeopardized after she crashed in a downhill in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. But that won’t keep her from racing in the Winter Olympics, she says.

A large snowmaking upgrade has come in handy at Nordic Valley, but the resort is still hiring staff after many part-timers left for more reliable work.

Ski Mountaineering will make its debut at February’s Milano Cortina Winter Games. The Dec. 6-7 races at Solitude Mountain Resort will determine if Team USA or Canada heads to the Olympics.

“We all are so used to looking at Google Maps and digital maps on our phones that looking at one that's been hand-painted is kind of a breath of fresh air,” said artist Rad Smith.

Russ Scholl's "periodic table of snow" contains more than 100 different slang names for snow.

A Draper homeowners association added an additional lawsuit on top of the recently consolidated mega-lawsuit against UDOT’s big idea to fix winter traffic in Little Cottonwood Canyon.

Since the first Winter Games in 1924, nordic combined has tested the bravery and endurance of athletes in ski jumping and cross-country skiing. A year from now, it might be a former Olympic sport.

The Macuga sisters Sam, Lauren and Alli all compete in a different ski discipline and all three could very well make the U.S. team for the Milan-Cortina Olympics next winter.
