The Olympic Games are in trouble...because of lack of snow.
I live in BC Canada and we are having the warmest winter I can ever remember.
It is usually peak snow season now, but they are trucking in thousands of truck loads of snow from higher peaks and laying it on a bed of straw for the games.
The 14 day trend, is increasing temperatures and no precipitation.
Racers won't want to leave the trail in the downhill...it could be a rocky landing.

Chuck,
I had heard about issues with not enough snow there. Very interesting how they overcome that. Thansk for your comments!
