After Card Glitch in Livigno, Snoop Dogg Repays Family With Halfpipe Tickets

NBC's Milan-Cortina correspondent turned a failed payment into a goodwill gesture for the Cronox owners.

Overview

  • Snoop Dogg’s payment failed for a takeout order at Cronox in Livigno, and the Valmadre family let his team leave with the food at no charge.
  • The next day he sent the family five tickets to the men’s snowboard halfpipe final as a thank-you.
  • The Valmadres attended the event, where Japan’s Yuto Totsuka won gold ahead of Australia’s Scotty James and Japan’s Ryusei Yamada.
  • Snoop Dogg watched the final in person, seated beside snowboarding legend Shaun White.
  • The rapper has maintained a high-profile presence at the Games as an NBC correspondent and Team USA’s honorary coach, including a snowboarding lesson and on-ice segments.
