Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

UK to host the winter olympics...

...could we?

Looking at the medals they are pretty much 50 50 ice to snow. I dont believe we could host the snow, with respect and love to the Scottish resorts, the weather just isnt good enough but we could easilly do the ice. We have great arenas and could I think do a bob track in the scottish mountains.

So who could we share with to do the snow? Norway?
Is a bob track feasible? Covered?
Any other ideas?

Yes I know this is snowheads and ive just given that away...

Please leave the "should" for your own thread wink

I think we could cover 80% of the events, given a good winter. Alpine events could be a challenge as well as some of the nordic stuff. Infrastructure to support it would be a big issue though

The problem isn't the snow, the problem is the changeable weather and, most likely, the wind.

I agree. I don't think England and Scotland would be suitable for the Olympics at all.

So you want Britan to host half the winter Olympics. I am sure that it makes more sense for one country to hold it all, if Norway were to be involved they could host the full thing so I am sure they wouldn't be interested in hosting only half.

Have the Olympic village in Folkestone, then it's only a short train ride to the obvious partner country.

biddpyat, actually i reckon the volume of it was easily more than a bob track.

emwmarine, there are hills in the Netherlands. And belgium.

hahahahahaha
have you seen the world's most stupidest car park there when it gets a tiny bit busier than a slow day?
if it can't cope with christmas or half term then it can't cope with a limpicks. fortunately there's a big ferry port nearby with acres of sensible parking, plus a few airports nearby too.

Have you done a bob track, while perhaps the volume in the Dubai snow dome may equal it, the cost of keeping a bob track with it's sheer length and demand on ice when you aren't guaranteed Ice. So it would be like a huge long ice rink. Factor in the high winds that are quite common, and the Rain and I am sure it would be easier to maintain a bob in Dubai.

Even if there was ever an abstract notion that the UK could host the winter olympics, it would undeniably be a profound waste of money (considering the millions that it would theoretically take to facilitate the environment, particularly when compared to other climate-appropriate countries). Not only this, but other priorities would suffer within the public sector no doubt. Quality of weather conditions goes without saying.

One tiny example of something - on a much smaller scale; Wembley Stadium. Do you remember how our tube service practically fell apart JUST to accommodate the re-build of a football stadium?! Absolutely insane. I'm sure it took them the best part of about 5 years, if not more, to actually sort it out to *acceptable* standards.

Ha ha, I love this. Maybe the Jamaicans should host it, it would certainly be a lot of fun.
