This past February at the Skiing World Championships in France the US Ski Team wore cool looking, state of the art, literally art, blue and white racing suits with the images of ice chucks floating in the ocean.

A Roller Coaster Ride
Who doesn’t like roller coasters? I must admit I am a roller coaster junkie.
