The alpine skiing, cross country, ski jumping and sledding events were at Whistler which is about an hour or so drive from Vancouver. There was lots of snow there.

I have to agree they were great and the hockey was amazing. Only problem is I had to watch on NBC, which doesn't compare to CTV/CBC when it comes to comentary.I lived in Vancouver for awhile and it is a great city, my brother still lives there and was telling me about how crazy it was.

the hockey ROCKED! the down hill stuff (super G, moguls, etc.) was good all the sledding was fun, but If I had to watch one more figure skating routine I was going to blow up that TV station!! cross country skiing sucked, biathlon? WTF totally sucked, and ICE dancing OMG just gouge my eyes OUT!!

They were fantastic! (with the unfortunate exception of the death)
The Sharks had 8 players out on olympic teams, so I wasn't really rooting for any specific country to win. Just really enjoyed watching the players. Canada played some awesome games though!

And I had a good friend competing in women's slalom and giant slalom! It was really cool to watch.
