I'm not surprised. Its well known now. Maybe St Moritz or Val d'Isere? It might be worse in those places. Europe is so expensive.....I would like to ski in Chile someday. When its summer here its winter there.

I've been fascinated with Sochi since the Olympics. Sounds like the perfect location. Close to a warm climate and the mountains for skiing : )

I assume you have snowboarded around there?

Snowboarding....always good.
