Vanoc; (the Vancouver Olympic Committee) has hired a Sikorski S64 off of Erickson Aircrane to fly snow up onto Whistler Mountain and build a track for the Olympic down-hill event.
Boy, is this going to be expensive! #-o

And I suppose the tax payers are going to pay for this. I'm guessing you wont even get a free ticket to the games.

Yes that would be our tax money "hard" at work.
Gold medal hockey game tickets are going for upwards of $30,000.

An e'lites event for the e'lite.

I think every city that has hosted the olympics has come out upside down on the deal. No snow certainly isn't going to help that at all.
