Whistler Creekside Offers Closest Accommodations To Nordic Olympic Facilities 

The first snow-sliding in Whistler for the 2010.2011 season is set to take place at Whistler Olympic Park when their recreational cross-country ski  trails open on November 13.  

“November will kick off this season with an Olympic-sized bang as we slide into our first winter after the 2010 Games,” says Jaime Dunn, Director of Sales and Marketing for Lodging Ovations. “Whistler Olympic Park will open to the public for the first time since the games on November 13, and on November 25-27 the Whistler Sliding Centre will host the 2010 VIESSMANN FIBT World Cup Bobsleigh and Skeleton event. Wednesday, November 25 also happens to be Whistler Blackcomb’s opening day for skiing and snowboarding.”

Whistler Olympic Park was the site of the Nordic events for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. It’s ideal location in the Coastal snowbelt blankets the old-growth forests and surrounding mountain peaks with some of the deepest snowfall anywhere in Canada.
