Whistler World Cups
Experience
the thrill of 9 World Cups in 2009!
As Host Mountain Resort for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic
Winter Games, Whistler is gearing up to welcome the world in a liitle more
than a year. 2009 brings the top athletes in bobsleigh, luge, skeleton, cross-country
skiing, ski jumping, biathlon, and Paralympic alpine and cross-country skiing
and biathlon to Whistler to compete for World Cup glory. These events are similar
in scope to Olympic and Paralympic competitions, but offer a much more up close
and personal experience with the athletes. Ticket
prices are either nominal or free,
and the celebrations go on well into the night — you may even brush shoulders
with some future Olympians.
