We had to dust off the 'ol abacus to tally up the hardware from this weekend's action.

If you're sitting at your desk this morning
looking at a pile of work and are looking for the 15 second recap, here it is:

* Men's World Champs DH - GOLD
* Women's Moguls - GOLD
* Men's Moguls - GOLD
* Men's Aerials - GOLD
* Women's Ski Cross - GOLD, SILVER
* Men's Ski Cross - GOLD, SILVER, BRONZE

In short, we all just witnessed the greatest weekend in Canadian snowsports history. And, as of this coming Thursday, we are exactly one year from the 2010 opening ceremonies. 

The news wasn't all good. After another spirited comeback, Jan Hudec appears to have re-injured his knee. The extent of the injury will be known after a full evaluation...

SRC "2010 ISSUE" - On sale January 28th
DixonWho will become the next legend of skiing? Who will seize the moment and make Olympic history?
    In the "2010 Issue" SRC magazine looks closely at the athletes chances and at the preparedness of the Olympic venues, the challenges they face in the next 12 months and more importantly beyond. In "And then what?" SRC cross-country writer Tom McCarthy tells the remarkable story of the genesis of the Whistler Olympic Park and looks at what will be left behind in the Callaghan Valley. Michel Beaudry examines the Whistler Mountain alpine venues and the local athletes' chances in "Whistler Hosts the Planet".  And Brian Stemmle, himself nearly an Olympic champion (ahh, that darned snow snake!) offers some advice for the athletes in "Media Matters". That, and much more in the SRC 2010 Issue.
