Cross-Country Skiing and Olympic Sports at Whistler Olympic Park Description
Olympic hopefuls will have a blast trying their hand at Nordic skiing, biathlon, and luge in the same venue as world-class athletes in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Slide down the winding luge track, try classic or skate-skiing on the cross-country trails, shoot a biathlon rifle, and tour the ski jump. Kids and grown-ups alike can rent equipment and take lessons, or just buy a day pass and head out on your own to explore the 55 kilometers of perfectly groomed cross-country trails.
