Shaun White's Private Halfpipe
60 Minutes ran an interesting piece on Olympic snowboarding sensation Shaun White last night. Informative as always, and full of facts about the athlete, the neatest part had to be near the beginning when he showed Bob Simon the halfpipe where he trains alone, and away from prying competitor eyes. It's a 500 foot pipe carved into ice near Silverton, Colorado. The only way to get there is by helicopter.
