We don't need no steenking Olympics here in Boston.
That is the first thing I thought of. Where are the downhill ski mountains? Where do you hold the cross country ski events where there needs to snow on the ground?
You would think that maybe, just maybe they should hold the WINTER Olympic games at some place that it actually snows in the winter. Maybe like Denver, Boston, Oslo, Stockholm, Zurich, Montreal, etc.
I realize that it does get cold there in the winter and they do get some snow. However, I do not think it is something you can count on for the outdoor events. Similar to Sochi even Vancouver.
