freaking gorgeous

I'd ski that …

Nice - I thought i took that!

Incredible terrain!

Good job - more women on the trails is good! Tell her to check out the Ladies Only Forum

Jade Mountain? No entry on Bivouac.com

Colin? Disney?

sweet shot

Went to the village in the evening - it looks really good. Lots of happy people. Good family type of atmosphere. Cops kind of lost in the crowd.

Wilkes gets in the spirit

Awards plaza - biathlon medals getting awarded

Main drag is really well decorated - non-existent traffic

Skiers Plaza - big screen tv to show events and the Sardis High School Band putting on quite the show

Fire and Ice is a cultural thing put on the muni; DJ's, hula hoop girls and skiers jumping through the Olympic rings. These are taken during the pre-event when the skiers are setting up

It was getting cold in the village. Vid from today

Just to add something substantive, I worked as a bus boy at Grouse Nest Restaurant - first ski-bum type job. It was good hard work. I busted my ass and got paid well. Got free skiing and free skis + badly needed lessons. Feel free to make fun of this Vlad and denigrate the experience as is your MO

I can't wait for Vlad to run to a mod saying that I'm being "rude" to poor little Vlad.

In the meantime, in his sig - Vlad had something about "doing Couch Surfer's wife" for quite a period of time. Nice touch of class you add to discourse there Russian thug. What's next? Will you mail me a collection of chest hair snipped from your enormous protruding belly in a (vain) attempt to disgust me?

Will I get a sanctimonious email or PM from an admin asking me to tone it down? All this despite the hypocrisy of much worse language and behaviour on this board then I have recently penned? From others besides Vlad.

Yet one cowardly "Report A Post" action from a barely articulate rambling bleater who has no hesitation in himself being rude, clueless and generally an unpleasant waste of oxygen, barely a step in intelligence above the bacteria in his/its colon, and you come running to me to ask me to tone it down? I expect no courtesy from Vlad. He has zero class. I would expect a bit more courtesy from you - said unnamed admin. Could you please give me the courtesy of an explanation?

12 new - weekend crowds still not really all there

Sharon was volunteering at the downhill but the comp was cancelled (snow's too soft down low) so she went skiing

Wilkes

Gunnar

Village's getting crowded now. Stoke level high

Devorider - thx. That was pretty fun to see - we saw dress rehearsal 2 and the opening on TV and both were nicely done

mcsorley and semenko in front of gretzky throwing elbows clearing out the crowd just for old times- that would've been cool

Just got back from ski jumping - preliminary round. It was wonderful weather in the Callaghan. The crowd was stoked. I hopped on the bus at Whistler's Lot 5 at about 8.15 and was at the venue at about 845am. It was a 15 minute walk to the ski jump itself.

The event proper kicked off at 10am. Top 50 qualify. There's a range of airtime between the bottom guys and the top. The top skiers go so far they almost go past the HS (Holy shit?) warning line of 105m.

This guy went pretty far past the HS line and almost drove his knees through his chin

I know nothing about the gear but it looks deadly.

The jumpers don't get as high as the security blimp

The sun came out - making for a beautiful scenic day.

I managed to bug Phil Liggett (he's announcing for a UK channel but just there on a day off) for a photo. His wife had some fancy camera setup!

It took a bit longer to get back. 45 - 55 minute lineups for the bus.

Manny's mum lives down the street - she's just a bit stoked

nice. hanging a dead man around your neck looks like trouble?

Not the first place i might have put it (around pack maybe) but the second rap was straight fuking down vertical rock and ice so was no problem
