Located just 20 kilometres south of Whistler, Whistler Olympic Park hosted the biathlon and cross-country skiing events during the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games.

The compact one square-kilometre Olympic Games core area includes three separate stadiums (cross-country skiing, biathlon, ski jumping) located about 400 metres apart. Approximately 15 kilometres of Olympic competition trails have been built for athletes, comprised of two five-kilometre loops for cross country skiing and one four-kilometre loop for biathlon.

The biathlon stadium's range consists of 30 lanes with a fully electronic target system able to detect and report precise time and hit or miss of each bullet fired. The two ski jumps (normal hill and large hill) include one of the world's most sophisticated ski jump snow refrigeration and track setting systems.

Canada's first Paralympic competition course, specifically created for athletes with physical disabilities, is also included in the Games core area. Among the many features is a 3.75-kilometre course for the sit ski classes and a portable 20-metre air and laser rifle biathlon range.

Everyone can enjoy Whistler Olympic Park. The park features more than 35-kilometres of recreation and competition trails groomed for classic and skate skiers from beginner to expert.

Visitors can also enjoy lit trails for night skiing, snowshoe trails, and access to the biathlon range. Amenities available include cross-country ski rentals, lessons, trail passes, snack foods, and hot and cold drinks. For more information visit Whistler Olympic Park's website.

The venue will also showcase Nordic sports by hosting international competitions and developing Nordic sport opportunities in the local communities.
