Well, the men's is over, Shaun White was victorious again with Olympic gold as you all have to know by now.  We're onto the women's today, conditions are great again for the pipe and the ASP crew are happy with the way the pipe shaped up last night. Read the full story on the Men's at Transworld Snowboarding  and here's what they had to say about Arena Snowparks.

'The biggest miracle of the night was something that you might have taken for granted—the pipe itself. Arena Snowparks led by Steve Petrie and his staff had easily the hardest job at these Olympic games, and it was nothing but experience, perseverance, (a lot of money and trucked and flown in snow), and hard work that made an Olympic quality pipe a reality tonight.'

There's also a story on Steve and ASP in the New York Times about the challenging weather conditions that were faced by the crew and just how they got the pipe built in time for the Games.
