Olympics
Olympic gold medalist Picabo Street was spotted on the slopes in Italy this week giving Snoop Dogg a skiing lesson, and the results are as delightful as you’d hope. Street, one of the most celebrated American alpine racers in history—a World Cup champion and 1998 Olympic downhill gold medalist—has been sharing her expertise with friends and fans while attending the Milano–Cortina Games.

Snoop Dogg, currently in Italy for Olympic coverage, proved a willing, albeit apprehensive student as Street walked him through the basics. It’s not every day a rap legend tries snowplowing with an Olympic champion, but with her calm coaching and his good-natured enthusiasm, it makes for one of the cutest ski lessons we’ve seen this season.
“My legs are going to celery!”
While Snoop Dogg does not look like a natural at skiing, he certainly earned the medal Picabo Street had fashioned for him for giving it his best go in the name of global entertainment.
