Olympic preview

Postby Rifleman » Tue Feb 09, 2010 7:28 pm

Not to say that sometimes you get to rub elbows with celebrities, but here is a pre-Olympic shot of our Wendy with the Ghana National Ski Team, starring, on the left, Kwame the Snow Leopard.......I'm sure you'll be hearing about him during the games.........he's a bit of a ground breaker, since they have a slight lack of snow where he comes from.....good for you, and Good Luck Kwame.......

Very cool. Though the Ghanaian ski team seems about as nonsensical as the Jamaican bobsled team. :P Not to take anything away from the competitors, as I'm sure they've worked hard their whole life to get there.

Unfortunately Craig, our Mt Washington was only used as a training venue, so we won't have any access to things once the official start comes on Friday... :(
