Our 2nd day at the Winter Olympics

Today was men's slalom. The day started off with heavy snow, turned to light rain, and ended up with pleasant conditions.

And on a somber note, a memorial for Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili who died in a tragic training accident before the games was setup in Whistler village. We were passing by when several members of the Georgian delegation were visiting it.
