From February 12 until February 28, 2010 Whistler will be a hive of activity as it co-hosts the 2010 Winter Olympics, and then from March 12 until March 21, 2010 for the Paralympics.
Set to co-host the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in February and March respectively, Whistler will be the site of various events including alpine skiing, bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton. The nearby Whistler Olympic Park in the Callaghan Valley will be the site of the cross-country skiing, biathlon, and ski jumping.
This already popular winter destination attracts more than two million visitors annually and was a natural choice as a venue to co-host the Olympics with the city of Vancouver.
