SUGAR HOUSE -- A member of the 2010 U.S. Olympic Snowboard Team met with some of his fans on Sunday.
Louie Vito stopped by the Sugar House Chipotle restaurant at 1011 E. 2100 S. to sign autographs and pose for pictures.
Vito participated in the 2010 U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix in Park City last week. According to his website, Vito moved to Salt Lake City after finishing high school to take advantage of Utah's snow.
This will be the first time Vito has competed in the Olympics games. He says he's anxious to hit the half pipe in Vancouver.
"I just kind of want to take it all in and enjoy it," Vito says. "It's been a dream of mine since I was little. Now that it's here, I just really want to take it all in. It's kind of like a once in a lifetime opportunity. Have fun and put down a run."
The Vancouver games begin on Feb. 12.
