Whistler 2010 Winter Olympic Games

The 2010 Winter Olympics finally landed at Vancouver and Whistler. The Cities of Vancouver and Whistler were selected host city of the XXI Olympic Winter Games in 2010 at the 115th IOC Session in Prague on 2 July 2003.

Whistler is proud to be a host city for a global competition of best winter athletes world has to offer. Whistler is home to 10,000 residents and boasts the largest ski area in North America. Whistler is a fairly young community with unprecedented natural scenery - Whistler Mountain opened in 1966 and Blackcomb Mountain opened in 1980.

In 1992, Snow Country Magazine voted Whistler Blackcomb as the Number One Ski Resort in North America among the numerous luxury 2010 rental accommodations around Whistler. Since then, various publications have continued to offer top designations to the Whistler Ski Resort, and finally we deserved a chance to host 2010 Winter Olympics.

2010 Winter Olympics will feature alpine, Nordic, Sliding and Paralympic events in new or existing facilities. Whistler and Blackcomb have over 200 marked trails, on 7000 acres of terrain, including runs that are seven miles long.

There are 33 lifts and gondolas that can handle up to 59,000 skiers an hour. An athletes' village and media centre for Whistler based athletes and media will also be developed. Each venue will meet or exceed Olympic and international sport federation standards and will have a plan for post-Games use.

Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games

Whistler will host the alpine technical and speed events, the sliding events, the Nordic events as well as all the Paralympic events in 2010 Olympics. 

The Whistler Olympic Village will house approximately 2,500 athletes, coaching staff and officials from all over the world. Whistler has rightfully deserved its turn to showcase the natural beauty and technical achievement of creating a perfect winter resort.
