The Winter Olympics offer something for everyone. I’m serious here – if you don’t like sports, there are some excellent opportunities for intense fashion critique when it comes to the figure skating events, it being a fine line between gossamer and garish and all. Plus, there’s something highly satisfying about bundling up with a steamy cup of hot chocolate to watch other people slip and slide down icy cliffs and huge moguls.

The Vancouver Winter Olympics in a couple of weeks are poised to be just as exciting – there’s only one problem. There may not be snow.

The chosen venue for the snowboarding and freestyle skiing events, Cypress Mountain, is enjoying unseasonably warm temperatures and no forecast of snow in sight. Organizers say their current plan is to truck snow down from high elevations or bring it in by helicopter, if need be. The only problem will be preventing it from melting.

Man, is there anything that global warming won’t mess up? At least the figure skating costumes remain unaffected.

Are you an Olympic fan? Are you going to be watching the Vancouver games?
