The 2018 Winter Olympics is going to be in Pyeongchang, S. Korea!

Interesting choice over it being in France

Anyone have experience of skiing in Korea?

That's North Korea

 

[.Roockley.]

they have resorts open 24 hours a day

symms went there on a salomon freeski episode

 

[skodeo7]

XD is stoked!

 

[pghjibber]

this is really sick actually...

their proposal made the most sense in terms of logistics, and i think it will be really cool to further expose asia to the freeskiers already throwing down on their continent

 

[Algebra]

Hmmm perhaps stoked

 

[RIP_leos_shack]

Sooooo Denver 2022?

 

[Algebra]

[B.Aussie]

Yeew At least us Australians love the man made snow!

I didn't even think it had a chance vs Annecy and Munich. Should be a very interesting Olympics.

[.RYAN66]

it has my vote.

 

[chuck_testa]

no quebec. east coast. also the ski/snowboard events would be at whiteface

 

[.RYAN66]

it wont be in canada again for a while. my guess is a euorpean country will follow korea then hopefully the us will get it and maybe denver?

 

[chuck_testa]

It isn't really canada. It would be kinda interesting actually. have the events would be in the states and the other half in canada. haha

 

[.RYAN66]

i think that would be interesting but also very hard to coordinate for the ioc.

 

[DERS.]

cool ..unless kim jong ill decides to push the 38th parallel.

 

[whoa-dere]

There would be sOme incredible shit for the gaper quotes thread

 

[Static]

[DUKES]

[LuchoR]

When they choose the next olympics they have to switch continent, it´s always been like this, Last winter´s 2010 in Vancouver Canada, the one before, Torino Italy in 2006, the one in 2002 Salt Lake city, and so on, the 2014 comes back to europe in Sochi Russia 2014. adn then Korea in 2018, so perhaps america, or europe could have it again...

 

[dubaiski]

so ski dubai 2022?

 

[LuchoR]
