Does anyone have a link that gives a good description of the boardercross course at Bardonechia? I looked around for about an hour and couldnt come up with anything decent.

I've got the course in a magazine. I'll scan it and put it up!

Ok, so I'm not so good at the scanning and sizing the picture up right. I emailed it to outsider, so maybe he can fix it. Snowboard magazine (not tws or snowboarder) has the layout of the pipe, gs and bx courses.

Go to cbc.ca and look for the link in the Torino section under snowboarding.

There is an interview with Jeff Ihaksi, the builder from Whistler.

Except if you want to pretend it's live and the radio or TV spoils it for you before you get to watch the recorded program.

...that is true. But even if you know the results, it's still fun to watch!...

It isn't usually the radio or TV that messes me up, its the internet. People should put "SPOILER" in the heading of any post that talks about results. Another forum I frequent has that as a policy and most folks abide by it (or they get flamed if they don't). Also just my yahoo homepage has sports results so if I'm not careful, those can spoil it for me. I was setting Tivo this morning for some stuff and went to nbcolympics.com. I tried to ignore it, but it spoiled tonight's Tivo for me a little. Now I know that if I want the detailed listings w/out results flashing all over the place, to go to www.nbcolympics.com/tv
