you can always watch American Idol or Survivor, you know, quality television.

any of you people check out the new event this afternoon called ski cross?  it is like snowboard cross but with a longer course bigger turns and bigger kickers....the last kicker is 17 fvcking feet.  the finals will be 4 guys racing the course at the same time...SICK and the first 3 will medal

Sorry Platter. 

anyone who think the Winter Olympics is 'boring' , should take a look at Ski Cross - completely mental. 

Looking like maybe a USA vs Russia hockey gold game. If Miller stays hot US can take it. My home Canucks continue to be far too gracious hosts in these games and can't seem to finish. good action though and you guys are right the ski cross was great.

canada is not eliminated just yet right?  i believe they play again wed or thursday.  does anyone here know the schedule?

Canada will have to beat germany on tuesday while other big teams rest. then they need to win 3 more in a row for gold. likely Russia/sweden and US again. very tough road as the other 3 are very very good teams.

i used to ride [snowboard] when i was younger...1990 until like '94.  it is a great sport but very demanding on the body...alot of twisting and turning and you calves get tired quicky.  i am not about to say it is a young mans sport bucause you can take it for what it is...you can be as agro as you want.  riding is way more exciting than skiing.  the lift tickets in ny are very expensive....45 to 50 dollars a day for 1 adult.

I started skiing alpine in early '72 and nordic in Dec. '72, but haven't done either in the last ten years.  I need to go!

Hey platter and wild bill:
I suppose any alpine sport is usually really expensive to do, for me it involves planeflights, hotel, skipass and the whole kaboodle, you don't get much change from 1000£ for a lousy week, which is exhorbitant. I always wonder how it works out for people who actually live "locally" to snowy mountains, presumably the liftst must be cheaper for them??? Caught a documentary on Shaun White on You Tube the other night. Apparently he was a really sickly, weedy child until the age of six and spent an awful lot of time in hospitals, hence his involvement with charities devoted to sick children. Then his dad bought him a snowboard at age 9 and by age 13 he went professional, nowadays earning over 10 million $ a year. He seems such a nice kid and what he does with that board makes me develop bowel movements like Joey whenever I see him, he is truly awesome... They also showed this halfpipe he had engineered and built specially for him really high up some mountain, so he could work on his tricks in peace without distractions-reached by helicopter only!
