It's Sochi Time!!!





"The Olympics remain the most compelling search for excellence that exists in sport,
and maybe in life itself."
Dawn Fraser
Australian Swimmer
3 time Olympic winner


Yep!  That's snow...and that's Mammoth!!!
it snowed when I left last week...
and it's supposed to snow tomorrow and this weekend when I head back!!!

But more important...
the Olympics have started!!!
Did you know that the little town of Mammoth is represented by
6 athletes who are from or have trained in Mammoth???

John Teller...ski cross
Kelly Clark...snowboard
Trevor Jacob...snow board
Greg Bretz...snowboard
(are you sensing a trend here???)
Stacey Cook...downhill
Kaya Turski...Canadian freestyle skier


Keep your fingers crossed...
It's supposed to be all about the experience for these athletes...
but winning is the dream!!!

    Snow covered evergreen trees set against a rich, blue sky - stunning. Truly stunning!

    The snow looks amazing, but of course I'm biased in favour of it!

    I love the winter Olympics! We got snow down here in Portland yesterday. And of course Mt. Hood got a good dumping too. Yahoo!

    I was hoping you'd show us snow. (Downhill is my favorite, so I'll root for your Stacey Cook.)

    I am green with envy :). Love seeing your snow. I love Winter Olympics too. Snowboarding events are on in 30 minutes. I'll be looking out for Mammoth's competitors. Exciting!!!

    Just watched some snow-board events on the TV - looked like a cross between winter sports and skateboarding! Nice.

    I love to watch snowboard (I'm watching it now). Glad to see you got some of the white stuff, just a few more feet and you'll be caught up.

      I lost out on a whole month's worth of snow Woody...not sure we can catch up! Especially with as warm as it's been...

    Good luck to your competitors Chieftess.. somehow I think Aussies excel more in the water sports :)
