Team USA's Meier, who lost his right leg at age eight in a gardening accident, won the silver medal in the LW2 Class downhill slalom event at the Snowbasin Resort in Weber County. From March 7–16, 2002, soon after Salt Lake City hosted the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, the eighth Winter Paralympics took place at the same venues. From 1996 to 2003, about 3.5 billion dollars were spent preparing for the games, which included expanding Interstate-15 and introducing the TRAX light rail system. The 2002 games would go on to have an important impact on Utah's economy and worldwide image. Utah State Historical Society, MssC_1514_002_004_044.jpg.
