Coolio relaxes on slopes after USO tour

[Nosak]

Coolio hit the slopes in Bend, Ore., last week after performing in Kuwait as part of the USO tour. "It's a country that is still at war," Coolio told The Associated Press, noting that he was escorted by armed guards at all times. "It didn't bother me -- I got people driving next to me with guns every day. I'm from L.A." Coolio agreed to the concert date in the Pacific Northwest with one condition -- he had to be allowed to go snowboarding. Coolio spent the daylight hours on Friday testing his skills before heading to Club 97 in Bend to perform songs from his upcoming album, Coolio 2002, which he says is his best work. "I just get better, I think. If you get wise, more experienced at things, you should get better." Coolio, who recently triumphed in the celebrity edition of NBC's "Fear Factor," has two movie cameos in the works for next year.
