Photo: 2010 Winter Games Ski Jumps Whistler Olympic Park Nordic Sports Venue
Situated in the Callaghan Valley near the village of Whistler, the Whistler Olympic Park Nordic Sports Venue will be the site of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games ski jumping, cross-country skiing, and biathlon events.
Located in a remarkably compact area, the main core of the Whistler Olympic Park Nordic Sports Venue covers an area of one square kilometre. This venue, situated in the beautiful Callaghan Valley, features two world class ski jumps with state of the art snow refrigeration facilities.
As well as the two ski jumps the venue also features 15 kilometres of Olympic quality trails for both cross-country skiing and biathlon, all of which has been tested during the 2007/2008 winter season.
After the 2010 Winter Games, the venue, which was jointly funded by the governments of Canada and British Columbia, will be operated and maintained by the Whistler 2010 Sport Legacies. It will be used to host international competitions as well as developing Nordic sports in the area.
