Not to be critical, but the conditions for these Olympic skiing events suck!

I've skied those same slopes in North Carolina with temps in the single digits, only difference is they don't have to wait in a lift line for 45 minutes to ski a five minute run!

What are these Olympics of which you speak?

Sounds critical to me. But that's just me.

5 minute run? Beginner are ya? I wish there were 5 minute runs in n.c.

Actually it's not.

Exactly, skiers of Olympic level could go top to bottom at NC slopes in less than a minute.

Cold, snowing, ice. Conditions you want.

I quit watching when I saw Shaun White drag the flag on the ground after he won gold.

Yeah but when you're going 65 MPH over a jump, you don't want a gust of wind to hit you. That's the issue out there.

Most of the snow is man-made and/or "enhanced" to make it icier.

Try about 25 seconds.

Of course, they'd never actually make it to the bottom because they'd get run over by an out-of-control 300lb "skier" wearing Realtree camo coveralls.
