Soldier Hollow and Utah Olympic part are two venues from the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics which hosted the cross-country events and ski jumping events. Soldier Hollow is located about 85 kilometres southeast of Salt Lake City and was built and designed as a ski resort in 2002 for the Winter Olympics. All of the biathlon and cross-country skiing competitions took part here, as well as the cross-country part of the Nordic Combined competitions. The site was chosen for the Olympic venues in 1997 and the last of the construction work was comleted in December 2000. On the whole, the venue cost approxmately $22 million USD to construct. Since hosting the Olympics, it has been developed as a cross-country skiing and snowshoeing resort and offers plenty of opportunities for mountain biking and golfing in the summer months.

Utah Olympic Park is located about 45 kilometres east of Salt Lake City. Four ski jumps in the park were opened as early as 1993 as they were originally meant for the 1998 Olympics for which Salt Lake City lost the bid. Utah Olympic Park offers a HS134 large hill and a HS100 normal hill facility as well as four smaller training hills. Located on an altitude of 2237 metres above sea level, the Utah Park Olympic Jumps are the highest ski jumps in the world. The hills are the main training facilities of the US national teams and also play an important role in the Continental Cup competitions.
