While Vancouver Olympics organisers are working overtime to deliver snow from other locations to the unseasonably warm freestyle and snowboard venue at Cypress Mountain, one of the teams least concerned about the dearth of natural snow is the Australians.
The hottest start to a year on record is not ideal for a Winter Olympics host city and the worst-affected venues are at West Vancouver, where there is hardly any snow on the slopes surrounding the moguls, aerials, ski cross and snowboard cross courses.
The Vancouver Organising Committee (VANOC) has assured all teams that they have a plan not only in place but well in train for the contingency of not enough snow. That involves a convoy of trucks and massive helicopters picking up snow from the colder, more mountainous regions and dumping it at the Cypress Mountain venues.
That has disadvantaged some of the athletes who have been unable to train as expected while the non-stop snow delivery has been taking place.
However, unlike some teams, the Australians are more or less unfazed.
Moguls skiers Ramone Cooper and Britteny Cox were amongst the first to get onto the newly-delivered snow on Monday afternoon, Vancouver time, and apparently reported no problems.
After her arrival in Vancouver, 15-year-old Cox said Australian skiers and boarders across all disciples were used to 'changeable' snow and weather conditions.
"I've skied a lot of different courses with a lot of different snow conditions," she explained, "So I'm not worried about the snow or anything like that. I'll just adapt to the conditions on the day."
"I've seen the course and it looks great and it's a bit like the course we train on at home, so I suppose that could be a bit of an advantage and with the warm weather it's going to be a lot like home."
Qualifying for the women's moguls is on the first day of competition (Sunday, Australian time), with the men's moguls, featuring Cooper and Turin 2006 gold medallist Dale Begg-Smith, the following day.
