Just facebooking. Mike Douglas' status reads as such.

"It's unofficial, but it looks like Ski Pipe is in for the 2014 Olympics in Sochi!" -Mike Douglas via FB



Looks like we finally got in. Discuss implications here.

Yup. I've been thinking about 2014 pipe for the last few months and that's exactly how I envisioned it.

I still would have liked to see this 10 years earlier. Those X-games superpipe finals then were awesome, seeing Candide, Jon, Crichton, Tanner, and Belanger compete again would be crazy.

I see the french dominating xavier and kevin were on a different level this year and in one of there webisodes there was quite a few youngsters killing the pipe and no kids in north America are skiing pipe anymore.

can't wait. I hope skiing pipe will continue being sicker and more advanced than snowboarding pipe. How sick would it be if the skiers threw down way harder than the boarders at "their own" event?
