Twenty communities have or will have hosted the Winter Olympics. Which ones have you visited? If any?

Cities above are alphabetized and I had to break the choices up into two questions to account for those that have never visited a past winter host as the system here only allows 20 answers per question.

Sorry for those of you who can't vote. The poll only allows me to put 20 options.

Visited Squaw Valley - actually, was there when the Salt Lake City Olympics were going on.
Drove thru Salt Lake City two years ago.
Been in Vancouver numerous times as I'm originally from BC.
Now live in Calgary! B)

I spent about an hour and a half at the Salt Lake City airport in 2008 en route to Phoenix before I moved here... so yeah, lovely city from the airport... but people could smoke in parts of the terminal... absolutely disgusting, have never seem smoking in a US airport before or since... I hope they have shut those smoking lounges down since then... could smell it from anywhere in the terminal in SLC... bleh
