Here's some more Winter Olympics History: According to the race requirements established by the Federation Internationale de Ski (FIS), the dukMéʔem wáťa (formerly known as General Creek) area in Sugar Pine Point State Park was significantly modified in 1958 and 1959.

The Sixth Army, encamped nearby, built roads and target ranges and cleared the trails 16-20 feet wide. The soldiers built five log and cable bridges to span dukMéʔem wáťa.

Timing and aid shacks were placed every 5 kilometers; the shacks were linked with telephone cable. The work was done before winter set in, so the courses could be raced without danger, even with very little snow.

Burritos are the perfect way to start a winter day. Whether you're rushing into work or headed to the mountains for a day of skiing, we've got breakfast covered for you!
