Redefining Ski Bum

Here we go! Olympic stars as role models for our kids:

“Talk about a hard challenge right there. ... If you ever tried to ski when you’re wasted, it’s not easy,” said US Olympic ski team leader Bode Miller in an upcoming 60 Minutes interview. “Try and ski a slalom when ... you hit a gate less than every one second, so it’s risky. You’re putting your life at risk. ... It’s like driving drunk, only there are no rules about it in ski racing.”

Thanks, AP, for giving us the heads-up, and giving Bode an extra opportunity to be a positive influence ... or at least under the influence.
