Doodle Snow Games - Day 8 - Lunar New Year

  • Welcome to Day 8 of the Doodle Snow Games and a very happy Lunar New Year to many around the world! On this brrr-eezy day in PyeongChang, we're joined by athletes from all over the world hoping to prove themselves best in class (or species).
    Let’s follow Magpie to the slopes for a fluttering glimpse of today’s action…

    The new moon peeks out over the Doodle Snow Games as our athletes take a much needed break to hot-dog and monkey around, shedding their game-faces to enjoy the sights from the ski lift. After all the action, it’s a pleasant pick-me-up for our doggone tired competitors.
    Dog, who’s been pawsitively crushing it over the course of the games (some might say it’s as if it’s the year of the Dog!), scouts the fireworks. Talk about a treat to start your year off right.
    It’s a chilly one tonight. Good thing everyone on the lift has coats.
    Stop by every day for the next few weeks to keep up with all the action from the Doodle Snow Games!
