Whistler Olympic Park, Nordic sports stadium in Callaghan Valley, Canada
Whistler Olympic Park occupies the Madeley Creek basin in the Callaghan Valley, west of Whistler, British Columbia. It holds 14 km of cross-country and biathlon trails, two ski jumps of HS 106 and HS 140 metres, a permanent biathlon range, and an 11,000-square-foot Day Lodge between the jumps and the cross-country area. Two 6,000-square-foot technical buildings serve the cross-country and biathlon venue areas.
The site hosted the Nordic sports competitions during the 2010 Winter Olympics, where biathlon, cross-country skiing, and ski jumping events took place. Following the Games, the venue transitioned to serve recreational athletes and the public.
The park is owned and operated by Whistler 2010 Sport Legacies, which also runs the Sliding Centre and Training Centre. Its permanent biathlon range can be used daily, and the Day Lodge, opened on November 22, 2008, marks the start of the public skiing season each year.
The Day Lodge at the facility offers equipment rentals, instruction services, and food options for visitors during the winter season. The site is accessible for both beginners and experienced skiers with clearly marked trails and designated practice areas.
The permanent biathlon range is open daily, not only during events, so recreational skiers can book a session and shoot on the same range used for the 2010 Olympic biathlon. The park also keeps two ski jumps, HS 106 and HS 140, built in 2007; the large hill hosted its first Continental Cup event in March 2008.
