Intrawest on the auction block/Olympic Rings in place

Huge news today! Intrawest (owner of Whistler/Blackcomb) is in deep financial doo doo and may be on the auction block as early as Feb. 19. Not to worry says Vanoc and those "in the know." the Olympics will go on!

Those of us in the Village today were nervous about the news, but this was quickly overcome by our own Olympic-centric excitement about the placement of the Rings in the village. They arrived about 11 a.m. and were set for placement around 12:15. Our team assembled and had our own excited, frenzy photo op in front of the (very) green rings. What fun! Check back later for a pix of me :)
Why are they green, instead of the primary color rings seen every where else? I heard that it was because it went with the color palette of the Vancouver 2o1o Olympics ( blues and greens). And also that maybe if they were this color they could stay in play after the games. Go marketers for awesome branding and unified color theme!
