Kind of a good point. Most people I know that move to Vancouver have had "Lack of cold and snow" as one of the top reasons they move there.
However, as many jabs as I have made about the games so far, I still really hope by some miracle they do pull this off and not make a joke of it. It really is Canada's face on the games. A torrential rain storm at the moguls event wasn't such a hot start, but you have to credit their ingenuity to heli-lift tons of snow using Sikorsky helicopters. Seriously, how much is that costing?
Its got to cost at least a few thousand dollars an hour to keep one of those in the air. A little bell 206 civilian helicopter is $1100 per hour.
