Volunteers at the top of the ski-jump run

A jump in progress

Last night we were at Cypress Mountain for the Men's Freestyle Aerials. This is a high speed and dangerous sport. When you see the skier fly off the ramp and do the flips, turns and somersaults and still land on their skis you certainly have to admire their training.

Volunteering at the Ski-jump venue

This is the venue where Allison has been working during the various events here. It was nice to see where she has been spending her time.

We also watched the last few minutes of the women's Gold Medal Hockey game on the screen overlooking the site. The crowd went wild when the clock ran down and we won the Gold.
