People skate on the ice of the GE Ice Plaza in downtown Vancouver on Saturday.

A man walks past billboards showing Canadian Winter Olympic athletes near the Main Press Centre for the 2010 Games, in downtown Vancouver on Friday. Vancouver recorded its warmest January on record, marked by a lack of snow. Currently there is only snow at higher mountain elevations, and even there Games organizers had to move 300 truck-loads of snow to two courses on Cypress Mountain, on the city's edge, that will host snowboarding and freestyle skiing.
