Spring Break and the Olympics

This year was the first time my school had a two week spring break. My family spent the first week in our condo in Whistler. We had some pretty good weather, it was sunny most of the time. Lots of my friends came up for day trips and some stayed in places of there own and we had a pretty good time skiing together. Here is a little video of myself and a bunch of buddies skiing at Whistler and Blackcomb. After Whistler my family went to Hawaii for a week and went swimming with sharks.

Last week was a great day for the freeskiing community. After much controversy Halfpipe skiing was finally put into the Olympics. The event is going to make it's debut in the 2014 winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Many people have wanted this to happen for several years now. People say it will attract lots of viewers and bring lots of money to the sport. But there are also arguments on the other side of the matter. Some people think that there will be to many rules and judged mostly on how many spins you do not your style. They say it's free"style" skiing so they think it will ruin the sport. But I'm 100% in support of the IOC's (International Olympic Committee). It is going to be the thing that I look forward to the most in the next Olympic games In Sochi.
