God I love Ski Cross. Could be made even cooler with a biathalon kind of version where skiiers were issued handguns.
2 man boblsled blows my mind. 100ths of a second determine winners. Brakeman is blind for the whole run.
Slalom, downhill and superG fun because you can imagine doing that ( just a lot slower and more carefully)
Snowboarding still implies a pact with the devil. (and really carves up a hill in ugly ways ... sorry, in my skiing heyday I had a bumper sticker that said "Long skis truck - short skis suck" )
Did I miss the mogul skiing or is that still to come?

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
