And this doesn't help things.

Wonder what they do if the weather stays shitty. Do they move the venue to Banff? It is entirely possible that the weather could be crap there for the next 2 weeks, but hopefully it won't happen.

When I was young I used to think that the skis that the Ski Jumpers used looked funny...now I think they look like awesome pow skis...A little softer flex in the tip, rocker, good width, very little side cut.

So its 45° up the coast in Juneau... I bet its like 60 down there

I want a pair of Atomic Race Jumps.

I received this email a while back but I have inserted in bold what I think they should have said.

As someone already familiar with Intrawest, we wanted you to be among the first to join us in celebrating another snow record at Whistler Blackcomb (our sister Intrawest resort) as they get ready to welcome the world...see below for more information.

WITH RECORD 9.9 M (32 FT) OF SNOWFALL, WHISTLER BLACKCOMB IS GAMES-READY AND SET TO WELCOME THE WORLD WE HOPE??????

As the finishing touches are being applied to the Olympic venues, Whistler Blackcomb is celebrating a record 9.9 metres or 32.5 feet of snowfall to date this season. As the snow base hovers around the 3-metre or 10-feet mark, the well-known resort, located two hours north of Vancouverbecause the Government spent all kinds of tax payers money to improve the road, now if you speed you can get there just over an hour, is Games-ready and set to welcome the world in just two weeks. (If we get no rain)

Deep snow and rain at Whistler Blackcomb is nothing new, but getting so close to the average annual snowfall of 10.13 metres or 33 feet so early in the season is not very unique. In fact, this is the first time that Whistler Blackcomb has received this amount of snow by the end of January, dating back to when snow reporting began in 1979/80. The prior record was set in the 2006/07 season when 9.45 metres or 31 feet of snow fell by January 31.
View snow and weather stats.

"There is a very strong sense of trepidation, anticipation fear and excitement throughout the resort right now as we prepare to open our doors to the world," says Dave Brownlie, President and Chief Operating Officer of Whistler Blackcomb. "The resort is looking its best and the snow conditions on the mountains are incredible I hope and pray it stays that way. We received great feedback from course inspectors last week, and the men's and women's courses are now fully in the hands of Olympic Organizing Committee." and Pinocchio is my brother

Whistler Blackcomb remains 90% open throughout the Games with base access via the Whistler Village Gondola, Fitzsimmons Express, Excalibur Gondola and Wizard Express. Although the Creekside Gondola will be closed February 1 to March 1, a ski-out will remain available via Peak to Creek. For those who don't have tickets to Creekside events, mountain guests can hopefully watch some of the Alpine Skiing action via course-side viewing pods, free with a lift ticket.

To check out everything there is to know about Whistler Blackcomb problems, including highlights and who should be hung from their short hairs for not having a back up plan throughout the Games from the resort's slushy snowy slopes, check out www.whistlerblackcomb.com.

Village's getting crowded now. Stoke level high

The men had a successful training run last Thursday. They managed to sneak it in before it got really stormy!

Many people are involved in getting the course ready, from the course crew, to the slippers and the dye crew. Then the course is ready for the guys!

check it out!

Wow Vancouver is as awesome as it gets right now. Really good vibe, more people walking around the streets than any other day of the year, party atmosphere. The Cauldron at Canada place is really good looking.

After watching the ceremony, I caught a bus and went to Robson and Granville, what a gongshow. Crowdsurfing, rain, national anthems, ole ole's, and a ton of fun!

Oh, and a big fuck you to the rioters this morning, I'll have no pity if they end up in jail for the next 2 weeks.

Glad to see the american Mogul girls are pushing their air's. It got old watching 360 off the top and backflip off the 2nd jump. Noticed the same thing at the whiteface world cup a few weeks back.

Just got back from the Ski Jumping and Biathlon. Events were very slickly ran; I was actually quite impressed. Cool international vibe.

80% of Biathlon chicks are 120% doable!!

I think some of what you wrote is funny. Nelly dose have big legs and maybe it's the thunder between her thighs that is causing the rain. Ha Ha
As for your suck ass comment and calling us dickweeds, not cool.
This only proves that you were conceived through anal sex!
That makes you a very funny asshole and a shit for brains.

Butt-Ah(ole)-Flake ? you sure are.
