VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- Snow is still being trucked
and flown in to Cypress Mountain in an effort to get the Olympic
venues ready for the Vancouver Games, which open Friday.

The first event scheduled for Cypress Mountain is women's moguls
qualifying on Saturday, with the finals to be raced later that day.

Moguls training is still scheduled for Monday afternoon, but
only athletes and coaches will be able to enter the venue.

Dave Cobb, the executive vice president of the Vancouver
organizing committee, says there is still a lot of work going on
and "for safety reasons and our desire not to have any of the
course preparation work impacted, we decided just to let on the
people that are absolutely necessary for the training."
