I'm scheduled to work all alpine skiing events except for women's downhill and slalom, and the men's giant slalom.  Of course, the competition schedule is weather-dependent - it is possible that some events might be moved.  That is why the speed events (downhill, combined, and super-G) are scheduled first - if snowfall or poor visibility should prevent running one or more of those on a scheduled date, they can be rescheduled to later dates.

I'm getting quite excited about working on these events and generally being around Whistler for the games.  It's going to be a very busy time, and adequate rest will be most important, but I hope to enjoy some skiing on a few of my days off, and to take in the Whistler victory ceremonies on at least a few evenings!  Also looking forward to visiting the Whistler Weasel House with all my fellow alpine skiing volunteers!
