I've heard many Canadians say that they are very, very competitive when it comes to their ice sports.

 

That may or may not be true

 

I know quite a few people who love curling but I've never found the appeal. I love the costumes worn for figure staking. I feel the sudden need to go snow boarding again though...

You know I was joking when I said curling was the best right?

Curling is fine. I like shuffleboard, and curling is similar. It's not something I can get real excited about, but it's better than the decathlon.

Skiiing scares the pants off me.  I don't know why, but it seems so dangerous and horrifying.  I've never been before, and I'm pretty sure I'd never be able to work up the courage to try.

skiing is one of the most exhilarating sports ever.  It's fast, it's the closest I've been to flying without flying.  It's so good.  Been doing it since I was 3.

I mean, there are several kinds of skiing. Cross country isn't so bad.

I love the Winter Olympics and try to watch as much as I can.  I think my favorite has to be Short Track Speed Skating, though Cross-Country Skiing is pretty great to watch too.
