thursday 1 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Naeba. What's happening this season? I want to visit before they kick the bucket. Sorry off topic. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Bet Canada will get it's fans after so many people visiting the snow there. Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 LOL! Rather timely Muika. Cypress has actually been closed because of warm weather and rain! Clicky Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Cypress bowl is almost right on the ocean so they expect these things. They've closed to preserve the snow, not because of lack of it. And Whistler's got heaps and heaps of snow this year. Link to post Share on other sites

the snowboarding vicar 1 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 What events do people enjoy watching? I remember the last Olypmics that snowboard race on a course was fun to watch. Can't remember the name of the event was it X cross or something? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Boarder cross. Very exciting. Especially watching that American girl flubbing the end of her sure gold medal by trying to be a hot dog! I actually enjoy every winter sport. Yes, even curling! Looking forward to seeing all of the events... just hope that I can find a live stream online!! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Definitely curling. Marvelous. It almost deserves it's own thread. Link to post Share on other sites

the skiing onion 0 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Curling I dare someone to actual create a curling thread! Boarder cross is great, love watching that. Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 halfpipe is gonna be crazy. Shaun White upped the gnar bar this year by debuting a new trick, a double cork in a NZ comp, and eveyone has been running around to catch up, as its probably gonna be a deciding factor in winning. Pro rider Kevin Pearce seriously messed himself up a couple of weeks ago trying them in practice. He recieved very serious head trauma, and that was with wearing a helmet. Mammoth Mountain just held a halfpipe contest that secures the US team positions, and danny davis gave us a hint of what we'll be seeing in the Olympics Ladies and gentlemen, the grarliest halfpipe run EVER Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Boarder Cross Just to get down a boarder cross course without braking is tough. (! went into the net )Racing with 5 others in so close confinement with your line is crazy. Would like to see that with skiers You can be doing everything right, and bam ! can be taken out. Love that real race element, and the Bradbury element (remember the Aussie ice skater?) Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Maybe curling could learn a few lessons from boarder cross or ice hockey to make it more exciting. Full contact curling or something like that. Or maybe they could wear beach volleyball bikinis. Link to post Share on other sites
