In a move that has locals scratching their Patagonia-clad heads, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced that water skiing will debut at the 2032 Winter Olympics in Park City. Once famed for its pristine slopes at Deer Valley and Park City Mountain, the area’s melting snowpack and rain has transformed ski runs into an aquatic opportunity.

In a plot twist worthy of a Hollywood epic, the Utah Legislature’s ambitious vision for Park City Film Studios has culminated not in Oscar-winning productions, but in the slapstick comedy of transforming sound stages into pickleball courts.
