By the way, I once visited Sochi, the Russian town hosting the next Winter Olympics. I spent one night there in Dec1987. I don't remember much apart from walking on the stony Black Sea beach, a maximum temperature around 10degC (50degF) and my surprise at seeing palm trees along the foreshore.

I've read they have a much more temperate winter climate than Vancouver..good luck in 2014. I don't know if they'll be able to pull off bringing in snow by helicopter, train and truck and re-building a whole mogul mountain out of haystacks from all over North America like they did in B.C. The efforts to allow the snow sports to happen deserved a gold medal.
