On a somewhat related topic, Vancouver is on the short list of places I have never visited, but would like to someday. I hear it's beautiful there.

great place - so is Whistler -pity i only visited it in the Summer.

I love the Winter Olympics more than Summer games. I think Ski Jumping is one of the best sports to watch, it is simply sensational. Hoping Janne Ahonen wins it. Will also be glued to the Curling, Skeleton Luge, Bobsleigh, pretty much all the skiing events etc etc..
