Christmas in Italy

Following the success of the event in downtown Moscow last New Years, Paganella resort in Italy is hosting The World Apline RockFest, a ski race wrapped in a rock concert. It is being billed as the richest one day ski race in history with the winner taking all- 100,000 Euros (approx $133,000). In the below promotional video it lists Ted Ligety, John Kucera, Marco Buechel, and others among the attending "celebrity athletes". On April 6th 5 additional athletes will be named. No word whether or not Bode Miller will be one of the additional athletes, but chances are pretty good as Paganella has an official relationship with Bode and he spent Christmas there last year.
