Spread in the gorgeous Callaghan Valley, the Whistler Olympic Park lays expertly groomed and spruced for elite athletic competition. The site includes 55 km of cross-country trails, biathlon range and stadium, incredible ski jumps, snowshoeing trails and a warm day lodge. Near many accommodation Whistler sites, this outstanding park is anticipated to host the biathlon, cross-country skiing, ski jumping and Nordic combined events at the 2010 Winter Games. This article further explores the surrounding locale of the park and reveals some interesting facts about the venue itself.

The Valley

Located just west of Whistler Village, the Callaghan Valley is in close vicinity to many accommodation Whistler sites and is the ultimate destination for year-round outdoor activity. The gentle sloping terrain and miles of track-set cross country ski trails provide an excellent environment for Nordic Skiing in the valley.

Surrounded by snow-capped pristine peaks, the Callaghan Valley attracts summer-time campers as a place to take in British Columbia’s natural beauty and charm. Summer-time activities include hiking marked and unmarked trails at Ring Lake or fishing for trout and char in Callaghan Lake and Cirque Lake. Wildlife is also plentiful within the pillars of cedar, fir and hemlock; mountain goat, moose, grizzly bears, black bears and cougars all inhabit the forest and valley.

The Venue

It is no surprise accommodation Whistler spots are filling up fast, each stadium within the park has an Olympic venue capacity of 12,000 people per day during the Olympic Winter Games and a venue capacity of 6,000 people during the Paralympic Winter Games. The total area consists of three stadiums (cross-country skiing, biathlon, ski jumping) located approximately 400 metres apart; technical sport buildings at each of the stadiums; day lodge; 14 kilometres of biathlon and cross-country competition trails and two ski jumps (normal hill and large hill). Furthermore, the site contains 5 kilometres of roller-ski trails and 6 kilometres of lit trails to boost athletes training opportunities. As you can see, the park is an impressive facilities for both training and competing purposes.

As the Callaghan Valley is renowned for a reliable and consistent yearly snowfall, there is only one snowmaking system at the Whistler Olympic Park. This will be used specifically for the ski jump landing hill.

Once the 2010 Olympics have passed, the Olympic Park will continue as a sports facility and legacy for local residents, visitors and athletes. With many accommodation Whistler sites nearby, it will also attract many tourists and Whistler travellers. The park will be under the operation of Whistler 2010 Sport Legacies.

Full Show in 720p @ bit.ly Through The Wormhole – S01E03 – Is Time Travel Possible (2010) Einstein’s Theory of Relativity says that time travel is perfectly possible — if you’re going forward. Finding a way to travel backwards requires breaking the speed of light, which so far seems impossible. But now, strange-but-true phenomena such as quantum nonlocality, where particles instantly teleport across vast distances, may give us a way to make the dream of traveling back and forth through time a reality. Step into a time machine and rewrite history, bring loved ones back to life, control our destinies. But if we succeed, what are the consequences of such freedom? Will we get trapped in a plethora of paradoxes and multiple universes that will destroy the fabric of the universe? Copyright: Science Channel More: youtube.com
