My company writes software for the communications systems used by many broadcasters, including NBC, who use a large system for covering the Olympics. This is my 5th trip to the Olympics providing support to NBC inside the IBC, and these are my ramblings on what's going on in Torino and at the Games.

Torino - The Mountain Venues

Stuck here in the IBC, and in the City of Torino, I'll probably never get a chance to get up into the mountains. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to enjoy some photos of the Olympic venues up there. Tony Kremer does most of our venue installations for the COMM's gear, and is also a very good photographer. Here are some shots of his showing the mountain venues.

This is the Athlete's Village in Sestriere-Colle, home to all of the Alpine events. Note all of the Canadian flags hanging from the balconies...

Here a shot showing the town just below the venue there...

Bardoneccia is home to the Snowboard events...

Pragelato is where the Ski Jumping takes place, and Pragelato Plan has the Cross-Country events...

The Moguls and Aerial (Freestyle Skiing) take place in Sauze D'Oulx...

Hope you like these shots, they look like beautiful places to visit. I'm just sorry I won't get a chance to get up there and take my own photos.
