As I was preparing for a videoconference with Calgary this morning, I was reading the Guardian, the source of all interesting local Trinidadian and international news....and noticed this picture.
As Vancouver prepares for the Olympics, mild weather meant they need to use a helicopter to move snow ONTO the hill at Cypress.
There was a time when as Chief of Race, I requested a helicopter to REMOVE snow from the hill at Lake Louise several years ago. We didnt use a sling like the crew in Vancouver, we just blasted the snow out of the trees with the prop wash. There is more to the story (but then you had to be there).
Those were the days.

Chopper
