It's Jasey-Jay's day at rainy Cypress Mountain
WEST VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) Jasey Jay Anderson could have been long gone by now. It would have been easy to retire to his blueberry farm in Quebec and spend his days doting on young daughters Jora and Jy while letting his legend as one of the top snowboard racers of all time grow.
Instead, there he was in the starting gate atop slushy, miserable Cypress Mountain in the men's parallel giant slalom finals on Saturday, Jy and Jora splashing around in the stands far below ready to see daddy do his thing - even if the weather meant they couldn't see much of anything at all.
"I knew they'd be just as proud of me if I had a bad day," Anderson said.
