ski like a girl: How they train, Gretchen Bleiler

The US Snowboardings team's plan was to sweep the halfpipe medals. Unfortunately, that didn't quite happen.

Gold- Torah Bright Australia
Silver- Hannah Teter USA
Bronze- Kelly Clark USA

My pick for the gold, Gretchen Bleiler, finished 11th.  I love Gretchen she's a glamor girl who knows how to throw down in the pipe.  This just wasn't her year for the Gold.  NBC has a beautiful slide show from her June wedding in Costa Rica.  Click Here to view it.  She arrived at her fairy tale wedding on horseback.

From Gretchen on  twitter:  Thanks for all the love and support leading up to and at the Olympics. Now it's time to find some pow and some surf!

Have fun Gretchen!

I love this video! It's my mountain, Mt.Hood. Isn't it beautiful? And yes it's a glacier so we still ski in the summer!
Just wanted to share.

p.s. I'm not advocating acquiring credit card debt in any way. ski like a girl recommends paying off your balance every month. But use your Visa card between now and 2/28/10. You'll be automatically entered to win a trip to the Winter Olympics for life! How awesome is that?!
