Now I've heard everything. They're welcome to the damn stuff of course but if the world is so concerned about climate change why was it not taken on a huskey pulled sledge? Have you noticed how only we ordinary folk cause climate change with our stand-by lights, trying to keep warm in winter, cars and foreign holidays but not the rich and powerful with flood lit sport, Royal Princes on helicopter jaunts, separate flights to Copenhagen, Al Gore with his private helicopter and carbon footprint the size of Texas, wars, church services with all the lights on etc?
As Our Ernie's Dad used to say: 'Daft I call it'.

Flying snow? Seems odd. Why not start up the snow makers?

If it is snow-less because of global warming, they could use that to help the cause, but I guess it would be embarrassing and hypocritical, unless they are using green technology for all of those lights, etc.

An Olympics official in BC was interviewed about that on the news this evening. I think the snow is being trucked in, and it is at a heavy cost eco-wise, but the rest of the games they still feel were very economical, green-wise.
