Twitter Moments reveals Winter Olympics venues after the snow melts

Coverage leading up to the Olympic Games is always peppered with shots of the chosen venue and all the special preparations that are made to make the host ready for the grand event.

But what about after the torch goes out? What happens to these destinations—which are picked so many years in advance and go through so many steps to prepare—after the pomp and circumstance is over and done?

Thanks to Twitter Moments’ “The second lives of Winter Olympics venues”  the social media world has an answer to those very questions.

The Vine collaboration, dated November 4, features a few past Winter Olympics hosts during warmer seasons, and shows how different these places are when the snow melts.

The Olympic Stadium from the Salt Lake City games in 2002 looks a bit different with green grass and dirt-brown mountain sides.
