Suicide Six was the name of the first ski hill to allow snowboarding back in 1982 and - - simultaneously - - held the first National Snowboarding Championships. Ahhhh...Suicide Six... snowboarding was keepin' it pretty fierce from the beginning. I dug this trivia up as I prepare for my media gig at the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Make plans to go to Cypress Mtn., Vancouver in February.... it's gonna be top chop!

Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes With Cranberry Maple Syrup

These dense and delicious pancakes are topped with a sweet and tangy sauce made by simmering cranberries in maple syrup.

This holiday season I had a chance to introduce snowboarding to someone who has never strapped in and never been on snow. Alanna is a super fresh performer and works the mic in the make-you-dance duo BONJAY. She was in Calgary performing at the Hi Fi Club and one thing led to another and we agreed to trade her mic in for a stick the next day. I am amazed at how quickly some people learn and how permanent the smile is on their face as they sample their first dose of sliding on snow. Here is Alanna and her infectious perma-smile. Listen to Alanna's off snow talents here. Spread the shred this holiday season!

Despite the front edge snow collection, a scorpion was avoided. MGT has a scorpion-free policy, people!

...for holiday cheer. Perhaps you're attending a holiday mixer or two and aren't sure what to get the host. Voila. The sausage briefcase. Now you know what all the MGT coaches are getting this Christmas from me. See what Leanne Pelosi's gift suggestions are.

Podium outfit for Vancouver 2010? McDonald's would get their buns in a knot for sure.
