Quick Rundown of Our Research Trip

Going up to Park City was amazing. So much fun and bonding happened among us. We took two vans and were tightly packed in. We stayed in a fancy resort a little outside of Park City. We got to take a tour of the studios which are in the construction stages, where we were able to wear hardhats and walk around the future set areas. It was freezing, but really cool to learn more about the actual production process and what goes into building a studio. 
We spent hours on end at Picabo's parents' home going through boxes upon boxes of newspaper clippings, photos, photo albums, awards, certificates, medals, olympic clothing items including racing gear, collecting VHS tapes for future watching, cereal boxes, you name it! 
Allie, Phil, Morgan and I were the main people to focus on newspaper clippings and photos. After the hunt, Corby and I boxed up and organized everything by logging it into an Excel spreadsheet. I also was able to go with a group including Cade, Aaron, Jon, Keshara, etc. to the ski resort area of Park City to look for a museum, which ended up being too pricey and not what we were really needing. However, Keshara and I talked with the ladies at the front desk whom have lived in Park City for a long time and heard many of the legends of Picabo and met her on occasion. They even mentioned the girls' ski team and how they could be a good place to pull potential actresses from.
