A Peek at our (Brief) Olympic Lives

The Men's Downhill, originally scheduled for Saturday, the 13th, was postphoned until Monday because of snow on the top of the course and rain on the bottom. So what were we to do except go powder skiing...yippy!

Here is us skiing to our powder stash...we are on Whistler mountain and you can look across the valley to Blackcomb, the best part is that this is all one gigantic mountain! All you have to do is take the Peak 2 Peak tram across the valley and you can ski a whole other ski area!

Following Liz and Trev into the woods, isn't it beautiful?

Check out this quick vid of Trev powder-dogging it with a little commentary from Lizard

And loving every second of it!

Our buddy Chuckie, who we met in the hot tub of our hotel and instantly had the hots for Liz. : )

Since the DH was cancelled and we had some free time (and a really nice friend who was working in the "Slide Center", home of the luge, bobsled and skeleton events) we got to check out the Men's Luge finals and it was amazing!

They are flying by so fast, you can hardly see them!

It was really fun to watch these incredibly talented athletes...this was the last turn of the course that did a full 180º turn and then the track went about 45º uphill which you couldn't see from watching on TV.

They would fly by you in the blink of an eye!

Olympic land was crazy, there was stuff happening everywhere you turned. When we came down from watching the luge we caught the last half of a free Matisyahu concert in the Village (which was awesome!)

And we found Marco there!

Then we went to the awards ceremony where they had live music every night...

This night was got to see Estelle

Here is the awards/concert podium

And of course fireworks! I love it here!
