It’s 12:30 on Monday in Durban, South Africa and the IOC has just voted to include ski and snowboard slopestyle in the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. For the last 10 years this has been the introductory paragraph to a freeskiers fictitious storybook and yesterday it came true. The decision comes three months after the decision to add skiing superpipe to the Sochi games. THIS IS HUGE FOR SKIING

Will the Kenny G’s, B-Dog’s  and E’dollo’s (the street names for Gus Kenworthy, Phil Casabon and Henrik Harlut’s) be welcomed in the prestigious athletes village? From personal experience and time spent in the athletes village during the Vancouver Games I can tell you that not many athletes wear tall tees. I didn’t see many XXXL puffy coats in the Whistler Athletes Village during the 2010 Games:
