Olympic Withdrawl? Get on a Bobsled

Still got Olympic fever now four days after the closing of the 2010 Winter Games? Fortunately, you don't have to wait another four years to get your Winter Games fix. Just head to Utah Olympic Park in Park City, Utah, or the Olympic Center in Lake Placid, N.Y., and not only will you feel the spirit of the Games, you can experience the same adrenaline rush as the Olympians. Whether it's bobsledding or the skeleton that trips your trigger, you can do both -- and tons more.

At Utah Olympic Park, dare to ride the Comet, a four-person bobsled driven by a professional pilot. (You didn't really think you'd get to drive, did you?) Plunge head-first down the track on a skeleton. Get the guts to hop on a luge sled. Or take to the fastest ice on earth at the Utah Olympic Oval and learn how to speed skate, figure skate, and yes, even curl. (Admit it: You loved the sport!)

Meanwhile, in Lake Placid, you can do more bobsledding, this time with a pro driver and brakeman, or slide down the track solo on a skeleton sled. Got a craving to be a biathlete? Take a freestyle skiing lesson and then hit the range with an instructor. No experience at Lake Placid is complete, though, without a skate on the outdoor speed skating oval (be sure to warm up at the fire pit in the middle).

Both parks are open through March, but if you can't get there by then, not to worry. Bobsled rides and skating at both parks go on through summer, along with loads of other fun things to do.

By the way, if Whistler and Vancouver factor into your plans next year, That's Fit confirmed that Whistler Olympic Park, where you can hit the cross country ski trails, will be open next winter. You can also hit the downhill runs from the alpine events on Whistler or don the ice skates at the Richmond Olympic Oval.
