    They were discussing it on the wireless last night. Apparently they are preparing to helicopter snow in as it's all grassy slopes at the moment. They have also banned the media from the venue to stop them scaring away punters.

    My favourite is the winter triathlon. Cross-country skiing, shooting and ice-hole fishing. Such a good combination.

    I'd love to have a bash at Cross country skiing or the Biathlon.

    Its supposed to be one of the most physically demanding sports in the world.

    Looks pretty good on the old joints too!!
