What would a Canadian Olympic visit be without a hockey game? We caught the American women’s game, where they trounced their European competitors.

And of course, we all remember how hockey went for the Canadians in the Olympics, men’s and women’s gold.

The highlight was ski jumping. Wow. Sitting right below these guys, watching them jump 100m into the air is breathtaking and they land on the steepest of slopes. We really enjoyed watching them twist and turn. Something I will never do …

These pictures give you a sense of the hill and the slopes.

And these photos give you a sense of just how high and how tenuous the landing can be. We saw a few major wipe outs.

And as with every event, there was an army of people ready to help out after every big jump.

Very cool event.
