woooo! congrats! Do you know what the layout is going to be for the events? Specifically, is Whistler going to be the main run for the skiing events? If so, are they going to have to modify the face for the jumps and slalom courses?
1. Vancouver will host hockey, freestyle skiing, curling, ice skating. Whistler will host downhill skiing, bobsleigh/luge/skeleton and cross country. There will be a nordic centre built near Whistler for those vents.
No modifications to Whistler/Blackcomb are necessary--both are already up to the Olympic standard. For more info check out www.winter2010.com, the Vancouver bid--make that host--site.
