Sundance unfurls — and skis with — massive flag to wish U.S. Olympians well at the Winter Games in South Korea

Sundance Resort employees unfurled an American flag — 78 feet wide by 150 feet long and weighing more than 400 pounds — on the slopes of the Provo Canyon ski area on Wednesday.

The display on Bearclaw run was designed to help wish U.S. athletes well as they prepare for the 2018 Winter Olympics, which begin Friday in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Sundance partnered with Follow the Flag, a nonprofit founded in Pleasant Grove in 2015. The resort offered first responders and veterans 50 percent off lift tickets in conjunction with the event.
