But if we're going to just open the door to any old crazy thing kids do these days and call it a sport (read: half-pipe snowboarding), then may I propose the following events we'd really like to see, and invite my readers to suggest their own experimental Winter Olympic Events:
- Cross-Country Polar-bear escape
- Bobsled Chicken
- Ice sculpting w/ chainsaws
- The Bikini downhill (or the G-string Super-G)
- Ice fishing (beer companies lining up to sponsor this one)
- Soccer on ice-skates (everything's a little more fun tried on slippery ice)

I thought someone as theologically astute as you would have suggested a snow angel competition.
how about the old standby - broomball? or a Biathalon with snowballs rather than guns? (Perhaps that should be the only one Cheney is allowed to enter.)
The Bikini downhill - im liking the sound of that Ron ;-)
Not so sure about soccer on skates - how on earth would you coach that?!
Competitive Snow Shoveling -- in the tradition of other Winter Olympic "sports" there is a technical merit side (how much snow is actually moved and how neat are your edges) and an artistic element. In this event, scoring may depend heavily on "pluming" which refers to the aesthetic of snow cascading off the face of the shovel with each toss.
How about olympic snow ball fights?
