Lift Line Poll: Whose life would you want to try out for a day?

Every week we'll be asking Canadian snowboard gals a different question à la Heathers lunchtime poll. Leave your own answer in the comments.

Gwen Stefani. I could sing! I could design clothes! I could wear lots of makeup and be platinum blonde and no one would question me. –Molly Milligan

Probably Angelina Jolie. So I could go fly my helicopter to some far away island, do a couple threesomes with Brad (cause we all know she's into that!). Shake some political business. Spend a couple millions on shoes and prob adopt 3 other kids from who knows where to finish the rainbow... –Magalie Dubois

Harry Potter's: He’s the coolest. I want to go to Hogwarts and hang out with Ron Weasley. –Breanna Stangeland

Travis Rice snowboarding! –Meghann O’Brien

A sea otter: They just float around and have so much fun all day. I think sea otter living would be the best living. –Raewyn Reid

Lift Line Poll: What do you take on a flight to pass the time?

Every week we'll be asking Canadian snowboard gals a different question a là Heathers lunchtime poll. Leave your own answer in the comments.

Sudokus, Tetris on my phone and those gossip magazines so I can do the celebrity crosswords in the back. –Breanna Stangeland

Humm well, if I'm coming back from Vegas I don't need to take anything, I'm already passed out before getting into the plane, when I do make it to my flight!!! But that won't be happenning this year, will it?! If not, well greens will make me sleep, works for me! Basically watch movies the whole time and just sleep, I'm not a very good partner on the plane that's for sure, don't sit next to me if you're looking for a chat!!! –Magalie Dubois

Electronics! iPod, computer, Shuffle. Oh, and earplugs, eye mask and neck pillow (mine's a yellow and green caterpillar). –Mercedes Nicoll

All I need on a flight is my iPod, and a good book.  The book is key for taxi-ing and while waiting to take off since you can't be listening to music, then the iPod to drown out all the noise mid-flight to help you fall asleep! –Nat Gough

I always bring my sketchbook and a good pen. Computer, iPod, and some books are necessary too. But now we are all doomed since they put the big kibosh on the carry-on situation. Looks like I won't be passing the time at all anymore. –Raewyn Reid

A laptop with movies, trashy magazines, random business and investing books. –Molly Milligan

I always bring an iPod and a book to pass the time on a flight. I kind of become anti-social on airplanes if I am travelling by myself. I love to meet new people but there is something about being on an airplane and getting into conversations with whoever is next to you. It is generally small talk, “Where you from?” “How long are you staying for?” “How was your trip?” and then the awkward moment where the cut off point in the conversation nears. At this point is it rude to pick up your book, should you keep on talking? I have met some pretty interesting people on the airplane but when push comes to shove and the awkwardness begins the iPod always saves the day! –Taylor Godber

Maƫlle Ricker and more Olympians profiled by Vanity Fair

Maëlle Ricker, the Canadian Olympic Gold medalist in Snowboardcross, and 38 other Winter Olympians from around the world are featured in an online round up by Vanity Fair (www.vanityfair.com). The list includs freestyle skiier and Silver medalist from Canada Jennifer Heil, Australia's Halfpipe Gold medalist Torah Bright and plenty of non-medal competitors in both Halfpipe and Snowboardcross from as well.

Vanity Fair asked Ricker about her new-found fame in Canada, to which she said: “It’s been completely nuts, but positive nuts. Everybody’s been crazy supportive. I was so prepared for racing and race day, but then everything after—I’ve just been on cloud nine hovering around the city and meeting and greeting people. Everyone coming up to say congrats.”
