UGH - this is definitely going to date me. My first recollection and attraction to figure skating was at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, California. Carol Heiss won the ladies gold medal for figure skating. I was a junior in high school at the time. Having spent many vacations at Lake Tahoe (which is only about 15 miles or less from Squaw) we visited the area many times - mostly in the later years to play golf. You could still see the ski jump "bones" and for a long time the ice rink. It has since been replaced.
