"We wanted to donate to two charities for local and national organizations," Olshen said. "The NAC met both criteria. They're a group that does so much, not just for the community, but on national and global levels." Stand-up paddle surfing (SUP), an up-and-coming sport for outdoor enthusiasts, involves a specialized surfboard and a long paddle to propel the water through the board and maintain balance.

The sex appeal to (stand-up paddling) is that anybody can do it." Olshen said he recently took his wife and daughter out on the Jordanelle for their first foray into the sport, and nobody fell into the lake. The Ghost Town Paddle is an amateur, time-based event for a field of more than 50 in all types of skill level and craft - 12 feet, 6 inches, 14 feet and unlimited lengths. Starting at 9 a.m., participants will travel a four-mile loop above the submerged ghost town of Keetley. A purse of $5,000 is up for grabs in the professional race, which begins at 11:30 a.m. with men's and women's open divisions. The pro race, sanctioned by the World Paddling Association, is a five-mile course designed to test the endurance and technical skills of some of the world's best racers. Among the 40-50 racers expected are stars Chuck Patterson and Candice Applebee. Standup Paddle Magazine, the sport's most popular publication, will be on hand to cover the event. "We've got a lot of pro racers coming in from all over," Olshen said, noting that competitors will come from Hawaii and Florida. "It will give a lot of Utah paddlers the chance to see how fast they can go." Olshen said his young sports hydration company has had numerous requests to sponsor events, but he had sport," he said. "It's incredible." The expected turnout of 100 paddlers is "pretty exciting" for an inland event, Olshen said, and has drawn notice within the industry. By comparison, the Battle of the Paddle had 150 in its first year and was up to 1,500 by year No. 3.

CrossFit Park City started as a small operation in the Basin Recreation Center more than three years ago, and has grown steadily to about 25-30 participants. Two years ago, it moved into its own space, and a year ago saw an expansion intended to accommodate a further boost in popularity. Now, the gym even tailors programs to kids ages 6-18, with 16th-place Games participant Eric O'Connor overseeing the youngsters. Athletes in other sports and military personnel have incorporated CrossFit con- cepts into their training, Spealler said. Elite competitors have very little to gain from traditional methods at the highest levels, and CrossFit gives those athletes a chance to hone some of their weaker skills. This is something they're often reluctant to do, at least in the comfort of their choice pursuit, Spealler said. "Park City as a whole is very endurance-oriented, so they're a little hesitant to try strength exercises," he said. But once they do, a number of testimonials have supported his claim that anybody can improve through CrossFit. One woman told Spealler f WASATCH-CACHE NATIONAL FOREST lUi Most hiking trails are now clear at all elevations. Only the lower loop of the Ledge Fork Campground is open after flooding.
