Sure, I am the ski blogger, but the Olympics are on, and that means the entire freeski world is left sitting on the sidelines, hoping that the IOC will see the ways and get skiing halfpipe in time for the Mother Russia Games of 2014.

The news is this:Torah Bright, who looked simply radiant leading Australia in the opening ceremonies, has seemingly taken a monster step for women's pipe: A double. The only question now is, will she throw it in her run with it all on the line? Stay tuned...
