2010 vancouver olympics: 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics an amazing experience...
- 03/01/10 01:20 PM
The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics have been an amazing experience and so I posted this on my blog earlier. People walking the Downtown during the Games mostly described it as “electric”, and I certainly felt it. I saw the stunned surprise and glowing delight of international visitors from every continent as they took in Vancouver and reveled in the excitement. Sitting in the German Fan Fest beer garden, sharing a conversation with Australian visitors was truly special; so was the bratwurst and sauerkraut btw. There were dozens of free venues, so as long as you didn’t mind a line-up there was … (5 comments)
2010 vancouver olympics: Thars Gold on Them Thar Hills…

Snow that is, white gold, BC powder. While Alpine and Nordic skiing, as well as bobsleigh, luge and skeleton events, will be held some 125 km north where snow is abundant in the resort town of Whistler, the outdoor Vancouver venue for the 2010 Winter Olympics, Cypress Mountain, is snow challenged. This is what I see of Seymour Mountain on the North Shore across the Inlet from my Port Moody rooftop terrace; still not much snow.
They certainly weren’t kidding about being the “Greenest” Games ever! Record temperatures this week are still hovering at 10°C/50°F, and the rain isn’t helping … (7 comments)

2010 vancouver olympics: Mudslides: who is responsible?
- 12/21/09 10:24 AM
We live in what is affectionatley referred to as the Pacific "Wet" Coast because we live on the edge of a rainforest. You might say that we are, "actively rained" upon; more than many can sustain (thank goodness; otherwise we'd be overpopulated- *lol*).
As a result of this and the mountainous topography of the area, we inevitably experience mudslides, and especially where more severe slopes have been cleared for homes. Like a Skier at Whistler Mountain (don't forget the 2010 Vancouver Olympics), the rain moves faster down a cleared hill and can wash-out obstacles in its way. I'd like to hear about any stories where this … (2 comments)
