2010 Winter Olympics

[roundheadlights]

So I'll be staying in Whistler for the first week of the Olympics. Don't have tickets to any events yet, but I'll probably pick some up...recommendations?

What are your general thoughts about the 2010 Winter Olympics?

Ski jump is fun to watch. It's totally bizarre, but still fun.

Snowboarding is really fun to watch. There was a competition in Mammoth this past weekend while I was there and watching guys like Shaun White pull off tricks on a 22 foot high half pipe is amazing. I missed them going off the ridiculously imposing jumps as I was snowboarding myself, but the amount of air they get and the tricks they pull off is incredible...especially if you see the size of these jumps and halfpipes in person.
