The homeowners in this 13,600-acre enclave include Bill Gates, News Corp.'s Peter Chernin, and Barry Sternlicht, the founder of Starwood Hotels &amp;amp; Resorts. The club is the world's only totally private ski and golf resort, and it is Blixseth's vision of nirvana. It is also as self-made as its founder, who grew up poor in rural Oregon and "ate Spam five days a week" when he wasn't using his father's shotgun to kill wild game for dinner. Despite this starting point, Blixseth went on to become a timber baron and smooth operator who twice persuaded President Bill Clinton and the U.S. Congress to allow him to create the club out of the Montana wilderness.</description><pubDate>Wed, 06 Feb 2008 19:23:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Miller denied chance of downhill win</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/02/02/skiing.canceled/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/02/02/skiing.canceled/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>A  men's World Cup downhill scheduled for Val D'Isere on Saturday was canceled because of heavy snowfall. </description><pubDate>Sun, 03 Feb 2008 10:51:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Sullivan surges to first World Cup success</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/01/26/skiing.men/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/01/26/skiing.men/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>American skier Marco Sullivan surged to his first victory on the World Cup circuit on Saturday, winning the downhill event at Chamonix.</description><pubDate>Sat, 26 Jan 2008 13:48:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Michael Bamberger: The true story behind Steep</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/michael_bamberger/01/16/steep/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/michael_bamberger/01/16/steep/index.html</guid><description>When Peter Jennings left the killing fields of Iraq in 2004 for a Swiss ski trip with his wife, he had no idea he'd never be on skis again.
