QUOTES
Liz Stephen, Olympic cross country skier
Park City has always been a popular stop for the Fast and Female tour. Fast and Female is a wonderful organization dedicated to keeping young women in sport, not only because of the health benefits or the love of competition that some girls have, but for the feeling of being a team, having confidence, sharing hard work and fun times with friends. These are the real lessons to be taken from sport and we want to share these feelings with as many girls as we can.
Kikkan Randall, Olympic and World Champion cross country skier
We love the Park City event because we get to share our empowerment through sport message across all the ski and snowboard disciplines. Our participants get to meet many of our nations top winter sport female athletes and play right alongside them and see that they are normal people too. The Center of Excellence is such a great venue for us, allowing the girls to test themselves across many different skills and activities.
