Where in the World is Gary? #126

This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#125) is the Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, USA

Where in the World is Gary?  #126

Latitude — 50° 07′ North

Heavy snow is important here since this place is the top ski resort in North America. Two (2) mountains challenge skiers here.

This place hosted the alpine events during the 2010 Winter Olympics. It is the only place where people can ski or snowboard on a glacier. The village here offers enough lodgings, restaurants, and shops to satisfy almost anyone.
