Day 1 of Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival was pretty uneventful. All we had to do was find our hotel and then hit the media room to pick up our badges. The Big Air Finals doesn’t happen until tomorrow so we had plenty of time to walk around the village and see the displays.
Most of the action is happening at the village but there are some events happening at the top of the mountain. Even though our press passes allowed us to go everywhere, we’re not sure if we want to ascend the mountain. It’s pretty cold up there.
Here’s a video from our first day at the 2008 Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival. Look for more videos and photos later. I’m sure the rest of the Dot Com crew will be posting stuff as well.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Looks like I am the first poster.. First time ever. Tons of us are sitting at home right now wishing to be in your shoes. It would be nice to be there. Oh well, guess I am just Making money at home. Hope you have fun!
Wow John, you didn’t last on that razor too long. It didn’t even have the chance to get going.
I bet Sally could stay on that thing longer than him

I don’t like in what is turning this blog.. too few quality posts lately..
Most have a good time there I would imagine.
but m’sia can not ski for all days…..
put on a jacket and rough it out!
Your daughter is precious!
It looks like you lot are having a blast so far. Loved you on the razor! Can’t wait to hear more about this. And you should try bungee jumping!
John,
It didn’t look like you were trying very hard to hang on! Of course it is easy to be critical when I am not there. I hope you have fun! I now that Sally is.
There was nothing to hang on to!
Did you use your iFlip video camera to record this? I’m thinking of getting one.
The video was recored with the Flip and processed with iMovie.
Good stuff… Sally is finally walkin’ huh? Can’t wait till my kid does that… Cheers~
P.S. That’s a really funny razor ride.
Yeah Sally was just motoring. Good choice of music to add to the video too.
I must admit the razor ride is a very different way to promote a razor. (That was what it was for right? a promo) Good thing you fell off the side you did John, you might have got a close shave if you fell off the front.
Have fun John and Co.!

I remember my aunt told me that I never walked for the first time. I ran!
How come you don’t use Revver and make some money off these videos?
Not enough money in it right now.
HAH! It’s literally a RAZOR lol! I didn’t see it until it started turning

I thought you would last longer on that razor then you did. Come on john be the warrior.
Nice video and looking good John!
It’s been a while since I have skiied. Nice video though. Looks like it’s fun there.
Nice random video.. Too bad you didn’t last too long on the razor thingo! When i first heard razor I thought they were talking about an old school razor – much more dangerous. Haha.
