Salt Lake City- In a strange turn of events, Utah's historically odd weather led to the re-opening of the bobsled track in Park City. "I can't believe it's snowing on the first of May," said Joe Citizen as he cleaned the snow off the hood of his Dodge truck. "I just mowed the lawn on Friday and here I am getting ready to drive to work in the snow."
Fed up with the weather's irratic behavior, management at the Bear Hollow Winter Sports Park decided to re-open the bobsled, skeleton, and luge track for the duration of the summer. The colder temperatures will allow the track to run without the exuberantly high cost that normal summer temperatures would inflict.
"Can ye believe it?" said Track Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott. "Ah dinna think we'd have the power to make it happen all summer, but with the weather acting the way it tis, ah am excited we'll get tah see athletes train on the track all year this year."
Athletes from around the world have expressed their anticipation at the opportunity to train at the Park City course all summer long.
Master Chief Spartan, team captain for the Halo Bobsled Team, was found preparing his four-man bobsled, nicknamed "Cortana," for use early next week.
"We'll be fine," he said in a deep, gravely voice. "It will be an honor to race and train all summer long. Normally we just pack the sled away in the garage and work on physical training, but now we actually get to get out on the ice and take runs down the track straight through to the beginning of the next season."
