We're thinking of going to Vancouver for the Olympics in 2010. It's probably the closest we'll be to a Winter Olympics for quite awhile! We're debating about how long to go right now, and any advice or tips from folks who have been to similar types of big ski events (or other Olympics, if we're that lucky!) would be really helpful.
If others are planning on going, maybe we can start a trip planning thread for it over in the trips area.
- What's your opinion as to which events are most fun to watch live? (of alpine racing, aerials, moguls, skicross (like skier X), snowboard cross, etc.)
- Is it more fun to watch at the stands at the bottom or to watch from midhill somewhere? Is it even possible to watch from midhill?
- What is it like skiing at a resort like Whistler or Cypress (which I know is smaller) when a big event like this is going on? Is it just pointlessly crowded?
