And as for Siberia, temperatures there are more than a little prohibitive, aren't they?

I've heard rumblings Denver might try and get back into the Olympics (more on that in a sec).Epsilon said:I always find the winter olympics most enjoyable when they are either in the Alps or Scandanavia. The settting just feels so right. Somewhere in the Rockies would work really well also (Boulder, Denver, Canmore, Banff, etc.).
blamebettman said:georgia and kazakhstan are too close to the middle east and not scenic enough for the olympics. Jaca spain might be too warm. You're right, Salzburg would be the best choice though what might hurt its chances is that it's too close to Turin relative to the other cities.

This is not in Georgia (Kabardino Balkaria, Russia) , but it's a part of the same mountain range.

blamebettman said:sorry man, but it ain't the Euro Alps
Way too close!blamebettman said:Salzburg... what might hurt its chances is that it's too close to Turin relative to the other cities.
Chances are, if they're bidding then it'll be cold enough for the Olympics. Vancouver never gets below about 40 Farenheit. Calfornia once hosted the winter olympics. They don't have to be in the Alps.blamebettman said:georgia and kazakhstan are too close to the middle east and not scenic enough for the olympics. Jaca spain might be too warm.

ScottyBowman said:The olympics should only be in North America or Europe. No offense to people in Japan or Austrailia but that was ridiculous when we had to deal with those crazy time differences. I remember when the world cup was in Korea and the games started at 2 am... that was messed up.

Habsfunk said:And what mountains would they hold the alpine events on in Winnipeg, Halifax, Ottawa, and Hamilton? Even the ski hills near Montreal and Ottawa aren't big enough for anything more than the GS and Edmonton is too far from the rockies to qualify. Perhaps Quebec City will get it one day in the distant future.
It should.Epsilon said:The Olympics doesn't exist solely for the purpose of placating North American TV viewers.
Sounds like paradise. The Georgian hockey team would be an interesting one.Vladiator said:Georgia has no chance. They are very poor, very unstable politically and on a path to civil war.
