Officials at a local snow sports landmark are celebrating after two regulars won medals in ski events during the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
Perfect North in eastern Indiana praised Nick Goepper and Justin Schoenefeld for medaling in skiing events.

Goepper, who grew up partly in Lawrenceburg where Perfect North is based, earned a silver Wednesday in the Slopestyle event — his third Olympic medal. He medaled in previous Olympic games in 2018 and 2014.
Earlier, Schoenefeld, who’s from Lawrenceburg, earned a gold medal in mixed team aerials — his first medal and Indiana’s first gold in an Olympic skiing event.
Perfect North, near the Ohio state line, was founded in 1980. It offers a vertical drop of 400 feet for skiing and snowboarding as well as three terrain parks.
Goepper fans launched a petition to name one of Perfect’s terrain parks after him.
