Olympic snowboarding champion Hannah Teter, who won the gold medal four years ago, decided to donate all the prize money from her sport to a charity called, Hannah's gold.

This season all the money is being diverted to help the recovery effort in Haiti. In the past, she has helped an impoverished town in Kenya acquire basic necessities like clean water.

You can also buy products from her, like maple syrup and wrist bands that say "Goodness", and a large portion of your purchase goes to fund the programs.

Westminster College in Salt Lake City has 14 students competing in Vancouver in events like freestyle aerials, moguls and cross-country skiing. It's a school with a serious winter sports culture.

Serious skiers from out of state come to this small liberal arts college for a unique combination --  the academic challenge along with the ability to head out to the mountain five days a week. Park City is just 30 minutes away.

A new set of bike paths placed along the Tejo river in Lisbon, are filled with phrases from a famous Portuguese poem by Fernando Pessoa, the well known lines inspired by that very river.

Translation in English:

The river of my village doesn't make you think about anything.
When you're at its bank you are only at its bank."

Through the Tejo you go to the World.
Beyond the Tejo is America
And the fortune you encounter there.

Nobody ever thinks about what's beyond
The river of my village.

Watch a beautiful and romantic video taken of the bike path and set to music.
