Zoomin shots of the race from the dang drones.
Fastest wins and never forget the flats.
Could make good theater.

Folks found Otzi The Iceman then a herd of dinosaur tracks.

Those mountains are fascinating.
Dinosaur tracks showing "herds moving in synchrony" found in Italian region that will host Winter Olympics
Most of the footprints are elongated and made by bipeds. The best-preserved ones bear traces of at least four toes.

Does ORDA have spare formal bump run they can use?
www.kpcw.org
A formal bump run gotta be cheaper and more easily maintained than a sliding track and/or a big ski jump complex.
Bump runs form naturally to boot.
Lack of snow moves Deer Valley moguls, aerials world cup events east
Aerials will be held in Lake Placid, New York. Mogulists will compete at Waterville in New Hampshire.

Thinking about this a bit more.
Mt van Ho has snowmaking and brutal new trails. What it doesn't have is a super fancy stadium. For nordic events, every recent Olympics and world championships starts and finishes in a football or track and field sized stadium. For example:
No way you're shoehorning one of those into the Ho. And the grandstands? For the skiathlon, IMHO one of the more contrived events in skiing. Go as hard as you can skiing 10 km classic, make a pit stop, change skis, go as hard as you can skating 10 km. The ski exchange would almost certainly have to be in the old stadium.
Scheduling between cross-country, biathlon, and nordic combined over two weeks? That's something like 15 events, then add in men's and women's races. In 1980, there was a separate stadium for biathlon.
Again, not as easy as those downstate guys make it out to be.

Thank you @tirolski that's very kind of you. I don't think I have the connections to get nominated.
Having worked for an Italian wine importer for 20 years, I got no argument regarding the food and vino. Last night, I made chicken cacciatora from Erica De Mane's recipe in The Flavors of Southern Italy. Yum.
